Front brake chatter

[E Zurcher]

Finished the break in miles and let her loose this weekend. Much spirited riding but nothing I would consider abuse. Noticed at the end of the ride that my front end would vibrate towards the end of a moderate stop just as the bike was slowing to full stop. Definitely brake chatter. No pulsing and doesn't do it every time. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this with their Gen 3..

Did you check to see if you lost a wheel weight?

If it were me, I'd take the calipers off and check to make sure the pads are lubed with brake lube on the sliders and piston contact point....they could be sticking ever so slightly.

Will do!

Will do, might just need some cleaning up. We were riding in some wet cinders.

If they were never lubed at the initial inspection they could be dry as heck....

Chatter has pretty much gone away. Must have needed a little more bed-in time.
