tonnee Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi All As a total beginner to Trails I have got myself a second hand Rev 3 2001 I have noticed that there is a bit of play on both the front and rear discs, they move around 2 mm side to side where they are bolted to the wheels Is this normal, all the bolts are done up tight but they still have a bit of play ? Cheers for the advice Rgds Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lestergg2005 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yes it normal ! They are known as floating discs ! Quite a few bikes have this arrangement , if the " clatter " bothers you some people put a bit of silicon around the spacers that the disc is mounted on. ! This still allows the discs move around but stops the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan williams Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 It's a common question for newbies. Glad you asked rather than just cranking the bolts down which usually ruins the hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
