[Ice Bullit]

I just had my rear Hayes hydo replaces due to a broken lever. I was riding around and noticed that my rear wheel (the one that got replaced) could not lock up, I can squeeze it as hard as I want but no cigar, it also as a squishy feeling to it.

Maybe I don't know about something about disk brakes? Is there some adjustment that I don't know of? I think that the problem is that there might be air in the line, let me know what you think.

They need to be bled to get the air out of the line that causes that spongy feeling!

spongy = air in the system.

no power whatsoever = oil on your pads/rotor. Or that it hasn't broken in yet, but you should have decent power even before break-in.

that's kind of an oversimplification, b/c there are other causes but those are the two most likely issues you'll face.
