i went on a 300 mile ride yesturday and was having alot of fun till we started heading home and i started to smell hot brakes when i slowed or stopped . i stopped and looked at everything and front felt ok and the back rotor and all was just slightly warm , well a few stopps later i noticed i had no back brakes ..... before i start tear down what should my focus be on to fix the problem ? the brake caliper was totally rebuilt about 4 mouths ago and has been working great till yesturday .

IF brakes not releasing..either, piston/cup corrosion, plugged return port in master or collapsing brake lines.
