Experienced this slightly weird thing for the first time this morning. After a sketchy descent with lots of braking I heard and felt a once-per-wheel-revolution scrubbing noise from my back (rim) brake.
It looks like the brakes had worn off a burr of alloy from the rim and wedged it into the wear indicator track. It came out with a bit of picking from the point of a small file.
Anyone had this happen to them? Any cause for concern?
