I am new to disc brakes and am bedding in my first set. (Avid Juicy 3)

The front seems to give off a 'fluttering' sound when loaded up. The rear is all quiet. It is most noticable when braking into bends, but it does it when the bike is upright too.

I don't know if this is normal?

Any hints most welcomed..

Richie

    normal.

    rotor patten causing it and you dont hear the rear.

    Different rotor patterns make different noises. I used to have one that made a satisfying BUZZZZZZZ noise :D

    My Daughters front 'saw disc' makes a chuffing noisy someone reminiscent of 'Ifor the engine' for those of an age.
