Brakepads able to wiggle in the calipers

[lassenc]

Hello

I often get a quite annoying sound from my front wheel, which is the brakepads that are able to wiggle in the calipers, it can get quite loud I think.

When pressure is applied to the brake it stops. The brake pistons are drawn far back into the caliper, so there is no pressure when I am pulling the brake, untill the pads get in contact with the disc. How is that? It's bled of air, no bubbles.

Sound's like the pad shim's are worn out. Try Mike's, or 650central for replacements.

I don't even have shims. Guess that explains it then, didn't know they where needed.

Is there only one size?

 

[xschris]

This what you should have.

I have the round type brakepads, that there is for the other type, right?

Shims for the round style are #10 and eleven.

Yep, cool, thanks guys!

I'm not using shims either. I took their not being included in the kit as meaning they weren't weren't needed with the pads included in the kit.

Go to your local parts store. Get some disc brake anti squeal. Apply as directed. Squeal gone. Ride, be happy.
