and the rotor carrier?
All brand new as of the first race weekend. Miss 1 full day both of the first 2 race weekends, and did this weekend, so say 2-2.5 race weekends on everything.Quote:

I'd go with Doug and check there's no shimmy. You could also use a roller depth gauge to check if the rotor is out of round. Kinda how you check forks. You just have to get the forks and gauge fixed on the same plane.
Did you compress the pistons all the way into the caliper when you re-bled the system?
:plusone: Given that you appear to have changed everything else, this seems to be the likely culprit.Quote:

Chris and I did not, never heard of having to do that for bleeding?Quote:

Throw on the rain to double check (with good wheels) of course, no play whatsoever. Fuck. Go to put the new wheel back on and think of what Im gonna do. And theres no play whatsoever. None. Fine. So I dunno if something just didnt get seated properly or something or what, but it was more than enough movement to move the pads out. Especially over bumps.
So hopefully its solved. Thanks to all the suggestions and such.
Excellent !!! Glad you got is straightened out !

I wonder if the spacers or something were not lined up so when you tightened down the front axle nut and axle pinch bolts they were tight, but everything wasnt actually together properly.Quote:
