| There's quite a lot you can do to uprate back brakes, but not much that will have a noticable effect! For more bite I'd recommend new pads, but I'm not to sure which of the current lot will give the best results. I'm sure someone else on this board will know.
I use the back brake quite a lot, mostly for dragging into corners, allowing the forks to rebound so your steering's unaffected mid-corner. Unfortunately I've currently got sintered pads on the back so it sounds like there's gravel stuck in the back brake...... nasty.
