I have recently swapped out the front end of my commuter for a disc fork with a trp spyre. I have a shimano 180mm centerlock rotor.
Originally I had the stock trp pads in there but I was experiencing some severe juddering. It felt like the pads were slipping against the rotor when squeezing heavily through the lever.
I swapped out for some new shimano resin pads I had spare and the juddering issue went away.
However, some new noises have appeared:
I think both of these noises are due to pad movement? One thing to note is that the trp spyres come with a threaded bolt with a little clip on the end of it, while the shimano pads are secured with a split-pin.
Is it likely that this is just down to pad movement? I was thinking to just swap to a split-pin and see if that holds them better. Any need for concern (front and only brake)?
