Front wheel knocking noise when breaking

skinnydog

Hi, new wheels - rim brake, £400 bracket
When braking, there is a knocking noise. The rim is still true, brake pads are relatively new and properly aligned. I’m a bit perplexed as to where this noise is coming from. Any ideas ?
Thanks for reading.

Check for play in the headset.

Thanks redivision. Although spinning in the garage and breaking, it does the same? 🤔
