Hey all, haven't checked in for awhile cause I've been prepping for school but after my trip down here I noticed my rear brake is completely messed up.

The right pad of the rear brake is completely gone while the left pad is still intact. And I know there's no way that I wore through the pad as I use it less than the front brake which still has plenty of pad left. Any ideas? I checked alignment before I left for Portland, but I don't notice any steering problems. Nor do I notice any acceleration problems which I figured would accompany a grinding rear brake...

The only things I can think of are that the woodcraft rearsets don't come with a return spring so I've been riding without one. But the brake pedal returns on its own no? That or the people who mounted my new tires reinstalled the calipers wrong?!

Any ideas?
