Hello all,
Riding to work this morning after lending my bike to a mate and noticed that when braking lightly on the front brake it caused a lot of wobble/vibration, so much that you could see the bottom of the fork moving back and forward.
Since being home I have cleaned brake disc, swapped pads from front to rear and also cleaned and regreased my headset. Seems to of cured it a bit but can still feel the wobble/vibration. Any ideas
Bike is a 2009 lapierre Spicy 316 with Forumla Oro K18 brakes.
Ta in advance
ps:my first post
check the brakes are done up tight, realight them to the rim, rub some dirt into the rotor to take a bit off the pads to smooth them down.
that is me out of suggestions.
ps. congratulations on your first post!
Bearings, worn wheel bearing, but more likely fork bearings/bushings.
Make sure brake caliper bolts are tight. Double check headset (hold front brake on, rock bike fore and aft).
You using sintered pads?
I would expect it to be poor alignment or a loose adaptor / caliper bolt. You'd be unlucky to have got through wheel/headset bearings on a newish bike (unless you ride loads)
Also check your rotor bolts are tight
