Feedback from rear brake

Mawties · April 14th, 2013, 04:20 PM

This started yesterday when I went on a pretty extended ride (around 150 miles)

Whenever I use the rear brake it seems to give me some sort of feedback. It feels like a weird vibration or some sort of resistance coming from the brake.

The brake itself seems to still be in working condition and I haven't noticed any increase in my stopping distance when using it.

I'm not sure if this is some sort of loose connection or bolt or what.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
M.

Check wheel alignment first, pads next, then for a warped rotor or rotor condition.

Anyway, is this in conjunction with the front brake? Check rear tire, rotor, pads, shock setting, and brake fluid.

My french neighbor was telling me the catholic school taught this rule to him, I said "screw your deity, these are fallacies, science disproves this you Jonny foreigner!"

Neither of us got along very well with each other after that, I had to feign interest in passing conversations, but I wished I could freight him back home.

Edit: this kinda makes less sense since the above posted removed his i before e post, but left wierd in bold.

I don't believe it's in conjunction with the front brake, I haven't felt anything from it so far at least.

I checked the brake fluid and it's filled within the parameters.

I'll check wheel alignment tomorrow and see If I can get it to a buddies shop this weekend sometime to see if the forks are bent or if the pad needs to be replaced (It only has 5700 miles on it and I don't ride my brakes very hard but it's still a possibility.)

It almost feels as if it's coming from the brake line itself though. It's weird I'll snap a few pictures of it tomorrow and see if you guys notice anything amiss in or around that area.
