Was out on the trail last night and the stupid brake pipe went through the front forks and started rubbing on the tyre. So i quickaly came to a stop and pulled it back through (need to sort that out!, stupid bracket design)

Anyway when i rode off again and tried the front brake it was quite juddery when i braked (Avid 3's on a marin east peak) and the forks were vibrating backward and forward because of it. It did stop later on, but what would have caused it? (The bike is about 2 months old, so the pads should be worn in by now)

Anything i should get checked out? as i can book it in for a free service if i need to.

Thanks.

    INSPECT IT.

    worn pads? worn bushes in the fork? or is the headset just lose!
