just noticed this today,

when i hold down the rear brake, the disc locks but the wheel still moves about 1" each way. i checked the disc rotor and caliper are secure, they dont move at all.

stupid question, but is this normal? if not, what do i need to fix it?

    the pads moving in the caliper?

    normal to a level.

    nope the pads stay still. i just think its weird that the wheel is still allowed to move slightly even though the disc is locked and wont move
