Okay I did a search but not finding any help.

I just finished upgrading my rear brakes to the Q45 setup. I already have the Q45 fronts and a 17/16 BMC.

Everything worked fine before the rear upgrade, but now that I've bled the rears they won't disengage after I release the pedal! The calipers are both re-manufactured with fresh internals, and I've got brand new rotors with pads. Everything is greased with syl-glide, including the caliper slider pins.

What could be the problem? Maybe I need to adjust the brake pedal further out? I can feel about 1/4" free play in the pedal before it engages.

Any thoughts?
