trialsquirt Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hi, I have just recieved my new bike and the wheels have play with the brakes on. Is this normal? The headset is tight. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitbat Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 How much play, can you hear a knocking, and can you see specifically where the play is coming from? Try feel around as you move the bike with brakes on and see if you can narrow down where movement is coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsquirt Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 So is it ok as long as my caliber and rotor are tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamWood! Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Make sure everything is tight regularly and keep checking if it gets worse. Could just be pad wobble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psiron Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Don't worry about movement in the pads, mine have play in them and it doesn't effect performance in any way. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
