So I’ve just got a Bombtrack Arise that comes with Tektro Miras. The pads move in the callipers though - is this normal?
If you do the “headset set” - brake on, weight on the front, rock back and forth, you get a click/clank exactly as if your head race bearings are loose. But, no, it’s the pads moving a few mil in the callipers.
I had bb7s years ago (and various hope / xt hydros on mountain bikes): can’t recall seeing this before - though I realise miras are at the bottom of the pile
