Anyone else suffer from this?
My rear disc brake, sends vibrations up through my (Carbon - which could be the problem?) frame, seatpost & saddle.
Pleasant you may think, but not at all, I have to stand up most of the time!! 😆
Tried disc brake cleaner, but has no effect, (and yes on the discs not my nads).
carbon you say ?....
😆 😆 😆 glazed pads? rough them up a bit?
I got that when I changed from 160 rotor on the back to 180 (steel frame). went back to 160 and all ok
can i buy your bike?
I get it from time to time on my Inbred, and the times I get it is usually only when I am dragging the brake. Never found out why it comes and goes though...
I had the very same problem on my commuter.
Sand the pads and the rotors.
Remove rotor from wheel and ensure flush fitting.
Re-fit rotor, getting bolts evenly tight.
Clean with IPA.
Clean (and maybe face if this doesn't work) IS tab on frame.
Put it all back together nice and tight.
Secure hose to frame w/ zip-ties.
Centre caliper.
Hope that helps,
APF

no, I want to take (be ?) the more active part :o)
I had it on my 456 when I put Hope M4s on. Wasn't sure what it was and I never go to the bottom of it (so to speak). Only really noticeable on road as i tended to be bouncing around too much to notice off road.
found his on 2 bikes and in both cases had increased the disc size and was using a hope 183 and 203mm changed brands no longer an issue? also run organic pads.
I get it on my 456, can't quite decide if I like it or not 🙂
Can i borrow your bike? im off for a haircut at crikeys barber

i had this on i bike , i have just finished,
i was trying a set of expensive ti discs they were very noisy , tried lots of different things for a couple of weeks
finaly switched back to hope discs silence and great brakes,
Change from wavy rotors to shimano circle - solved my vibration.
Same as Wally for me, not necessarily the cause of your problem, but it's fairly easy to see how a disc with an inconsistent braking surface could cause vibrations.
Stick a nice blob of grease on the back of your pads, should help to ease the vibration.
Be careful not to get it on the contact side or you will have to buy new pads 🙂
