Does the engagement arm fully retract when you let go or are you using cable tension rather than the pad adjusters to get the pads near the rotor?

with the rear it seems like the arm doesn't go back fully, so if i don't put a bit of tension on it then there is this 'dead space' during lever pressing....

does that makes any sense?

loosen cable off the brakes, and move the spring with your hand.

If it felt like there's power to spring back, then the cable housing may be the culprit and need overhauling.

If it feel notchy and weak, go with that snotty otter advice.
