WIX-ONE Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Should the front disc have play in it or be solid? I could hear a noise from the front wheel area and found the disc has play in it, the bolts are tight but it looks like some kind of washer has degraded maybe allowing side to side play on the disc. I'm thinking it shouldnt move but always best to check lol and were can i get replacement washers form if it these that are the issue. I have two 2021 bikes and its the same on both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is normal for all bikes. By design, a "floating disc" allows for a bit of side to side movement. With time and wear a disc may not remain perfectly flat and parallel to the caliper and brake pads. The floating movement of the disc is designed to compensate for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
