All seemed good but I recently noticed a clunk when braking. Assumed headset loose, no. Checked calliper tightness, ok.
Yesterday noticed when braking the whole rim jumps to the left (towards the disc) by 4 or 5 mm
Quick release not tight. Bearings shot? Does rim rock on the hub?
-
Fork flex?the clunk might be from the pads,check the spring,or the disc is loose

Interesting. The questions I would initially ask myself are:
- Are the hub bearing loose?
- Is the wheel firmly affixed to the fork via bolts or quick-release?
- Here's a good one: If it's a thru-axel, is the outer diameter of the hub end-caps the same as the cut-out recesses that accept them on the inside of the fork legs? If the recesses in the fork are too big, the hub may move in relation to the thru-axel.
Hope that helps.
- Are the hub bearing loose?
-
Spokes have become loose?
Do they still feel and sound tight? -
Either your caliper isn't centred properly or, more likely, the wheel isn't dished properly and the rim is offset to one side. What did you use to make sure the rim is central on the hub?

I built a dynamo front wheel a few months ago. Alpkit LuvMud unit with Alexrims rim and DT Swiss spokes. All seemed good but I recently noticed a clunk when braking. Assumed headset loose, no. Checked calliper tightness, ok.
Yesterday noticed when braking the whole rim jumps to the left (towards the disc) by 4 or 5 mm. clearly this is not correct.
Any thoughts on a solution?
