Cobbles and calipers

<< < (2/3) > >>

Grab hold of the caliper and see if it moves up and down with a clunk.  Usually due to a bit of wear in the pin or the hole in the arm becoming oval. I hear mine when a pot hole sneaks up on me.

Next time you go over the same bumps just ride the front brake a little that should take up the slack and the noise should go away.

Also the fixed pad does rattle around a bit.

Food for thought Dave, I think I'll make sure I don't have excessive clearance between it and disc.

BTW.. thanks for the video you messaged me!  ;D

Bit of a hijack but is it normal for the disk to deflect slightly when applying the front brake?  Regardless of adjustment of the arm I notice a slight flex
