Maintenance, Mechanics, & Tools / Stuttering front disc brake SRAM Rival Centerline X on LCR017-D
« Last post by heljan on Today at 04:22:13 AM »I finally finished my bike a couple of weeks ago. On my first rides, I had issues with my front brake: it stutters when breaking and it gets more intense the harder I brake.
I tried a couple of things like checking that the disc is clean, sanding the brake pads, re-aligning the brake multiple times, checking that the disc is not bent. Finally, I bought a tool (https://www.bike-components.de/en/Birzman/Clam-Disc-Brake-Gap-Indicator-Assembly-Tool-p53339) to help me aligning the disc. I did a short test and it seemed to work but after three times hard braking it was back again.
Anyone experienced something similar like this before? Any suggestions what else to do?
To me, it seems to be a problem with aligning the disc correctly; the brake must have changed position when braking hard.
I followed the mounting instructions of SRAM and there Newtown meter values when installing the break. Does it makes to increase the torque by 1 or 2 Nm? One idea I had while writing this was using Loctite - does that make sense?
Thanks a lot for any suggestions!
