Cobbles and calipers

Nice photo, can you still sit on the verandah by the river.  Apparently years ago, it was common practice to have sheep stealers, rustlers etc.  taken to the South bank, strapped to a jetty at low tide, then you sat having your ale at the Prospect and watched the tide come in.  Talking of bad guys, I realise that you were close, but, PLEASE don't leave your bike with the keys in the ignition, it could be gone in a flash.

Bryanj:
No its not normal for the disc to flex, usually means the pivot is siezed

Like Bryan just said. I once had an issue with strange noises that couldn't be ignored when turning th bike at walking speed, it turned out to be a siezed caliper.
I gather all discs have a very, very gentle warp built in to brush  the piston side pad away a bit prevent over heating, but I'm open to correction......  :-\

Yes, you can still sit on the verandah. I would love to strap some of my damn neighbours out for the tide  ;D . Just for you, the rest of the photo!  ;)
