I recently started to notice that, when coming to a stop from low speed and applying a little rear brake, the pedal seems to pulse. It's weird and I never noticed it before. It doesn't feel like warped rotor, and it's only noticeable at very low speed approaching a full stop. The brake never was much good at adding stopping power to the fronts but I never noticed this before. Anyone else ever notice something like this? Ideas?

Could be crud on the disk or uneven pad wear.

Mine started doing that and about a week later my pads were grinding,got new pads and it was cured. Not saying you have the same problem but its worth checking them.

My bike ATE the rear pads in 6000km. Yours might be worn out.
