[QUOTE="OldDirtKDX, post: 1421580, member: 57654"] [b]Within normal parameters[/b] As desribed, the movement you are seeing is normal. Given the manufacturing tolerances in the in the "Buttons" between the fixed center and the floating disc rotor coupled with the play in the caliper holders, the movement at the outer circumferance of the wheel/tire assembly will be as you described. When holding the brake on and moving the wheel assembly back and forth. Just a few hundreths of play will be multiplied exponentially. Fortunately, the braking forces are in one direction. Therefore it isn't noticeable while riding. The "clicking" is just the result of the play. If you really want to freak yourself out, check the play and the resultant noise after a "hard on the brakes" ride. The Outer, floating disc expands as it gets hotter, more so than the center and buttons causing quite a bit more play and noise. Don't worry, you wont hear the noise or feel the play while you're riding. Ride hard, brake hard! [/QUOTE]
