NC30 Clicking...

Post by Phil_Norwich » Sun Jul 27, 2014 12:45 pm

Hey. I noticed this the other day when pushing my bike up the drive. I haven't noticed it before or when out riding. I took a video so you can see what I'm talking about. I don't think its the calipers as they've both been torqued up.

Thanks in advance.

Phil.

Are the pad pins in good shape?

sounds like just the pads to me, mine does it too and never had a problem.

A good smear or copper grease on the pad backing might help deaden that sound, but clicking when hitting the brakes in such a situation isn't uncommon. Surely it's just the disc knocking the pads back ever so slightly when the wheel rotates and the pads making contact again when the brake is applied? Probably a good sign that your pistons aren't sticky....

I'll check out the pad pins when I get a chance. Thanks for replies. As long as I know its nothing too serious :)
