I almost got caught out today.
Bleeding up the back brakes on the KDX and Hullo spongy brakes.
Caliper off pistons out -clean up etc -all good
New pads in and --zippo brakes 0 -nada
piston went down but no brakes--whiped the caliper off-piston moving freely --hmmm
Anyhoo turns out the disk was so worn that the new pads wer sitting on the top lip and the bottom lip of the disk--big space in between with no disk contact
