im running a set of formula k24s and am having problems with the rear brake. specifically, one caliper is extended, yet moves well, while the other is retracted fully into the housing and barely moves when braking. so essentially rather than the two calipers coming together, i really only have one caliper that just pushes the rotor into the other, semifunctional caliper. is this a problem that can be corrected by bleeding? i think there's a bubble somewhere in that line, but it doesnt really cause problems unless the bike is tipped upside down or something like that. thanks for any help i can get.

Had same problem with my front Oro K18 caliper after messing around with the pistons (pressed the brake lever while the pads were removed, some air got in the system).
After bleeding the brake both pistons pressed against the rotor at the same time.
