I bought a Ride1Up Vorsa in August last year and have been commuting on it ever since, love this thing, but have had trouble with my rear brakes.

I changed the pads back in November and the brakes worked again! Until about a week ago. All the while my front brakes have worked fine. So I thought maybe my brake fluid had some air so I just used a bleed kit for the first time (twice because it didn't work the first time) and that hasn't helped one bit, and I think I did it right, both times I saw air leave the system.

I did have trouble adjusting the neutral position of the lever early on and stripped the bolt but have cranked it well enough to get it where I needed.

So I'm not sure what's going on, what else can I check? Would my pads go that bad again way quicker than my front pads which haven't needed to be changed at all (I did clean them a couple times)? I'm left handed so I don't think I have been using my rear ones more than my front but unsure.

For my riding habits, I commute 3 days a week for 27 miles round-trip and take on maybe 3 miles for store runs. I rode through the winter (no snow but a few heavy rains).

The new pads I put in are these https://a.co/d/0hHaMNcD
