bikeperson45 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Basic question but two week old bike and want to get everything right this time round, not even embarrassed I've been around a while and still asking this stuff Holding down the front brake front wheel does that thing when it moves backwards and forward and inch. Trialtech hub, BB7, what do I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc.Jokie. Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 loose rotor? or loose brake caliper, or maybe loose headset 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbertlemon102 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Can bb7s get pad rock?Even if they could, an inch of movement sounds like a loose rotors or calliper, like what was said above 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Yep, I'm retarded. Rotor bolts. I retract the 'I'm not embarrassed' part in the first post Edited November 1, 2014 by bikeperson45 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yep, I'm retarded. Rotor bolts. I retract the 'I'm not embarrassed' part in the first post you are not alone it happened me many times too What bolts do you use?I used alu bolts, but they were crap, shimano steel bolts with threadlock are the stuff And pay attention, mine needs regular check since I had this problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had tapped it with my hand and there wasn't any movement but when I found my multi tool with the torx they were lose enough to make a difference.

Disc.Jokie. Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 i always seem to round off my shimano bolts or some reason, maybe they're not steel, they're the ones which come standard with their rotors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
