yo i just bought a 2013 demo 8 and it comes with avid 5 custom brakes and i spent couple of hours bedding them in and they were crap i mean really crap and after i left it over night to carry on riding it nxt day and my rear brake wouldn't work :S so i took the pads out of the rear calliper and i saw there was some brake fluid around the piston.. is this normal? what should i do the rear brake dosn't even pump up

I would take it straight back to the shop - its obviously not set up correctly. And damn you for living in the UK, i still don't know when mine is going to arrive.

Sounds like a leak if the lever pulls to the bar and there's fluid at the caliper.

Need that fixed and likely new pads

Typically avids don't bed in well, and often have to be bled when out of the box. I would suggest up-rating to the new Shimano saint setup because it is simply unbeatable!
