My brother just destroyed brand new rear tyre by locking it up in panic stop when truck pulled out of side street. With harder front-brake usage, he would have stopped quicker and been safer in that scenario.

My rear pads outlive my front pads 10:1 easily.

Anyway, sounds like they’ve got you covered. Rear caliper bracket not slid onto rear swingarm properly. I find it’s much, much easier to get rear wheel installed by zip-tying rear caliper bracket in place first. Position bracket slot on swing arm and position hole in-line with chain-adjuster hole in-line with swingarm hole, then tighten zip-tie. Then when you install rear wheel, you don’t have to worry about caliper bracket getting bumped out of position.
