rear brake

Post by donk »

hi all,

need to pick your brains. I changed the rear pads today on my storm. I put it on the paddock stand and got the rear wheel spinning to check if they would bite. I noticed the caliper was moving side to side. Is this normal?? Its not a massive amount but shouldn't they be solid?? I havn't taken it out yet due to fear of being thrown off.

HELP as im going to squires tomorrow!!

You can ride it as is. Who uses the rear brake anyway?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
