Some good tips there , I will give it a try and post how I get on , be a bit longer than ten minutes for me though :rolleyes
Dont wait until winter, it really is a 10 min job. Unbolt 1 caliper an remove from disc. Put something thinner than the disc between pads, I use an old chisel. Pump pistons out until pads hit the new item. Spray on some brake cleaner and clean the newly exposed piston area you can see. Push them back in evenly. Apply some red rubber grease to the seals. Refit to forks. Repeat on other side.

Thanks for replying Solorider , it has also been suggested that the pistons in the calipers might be sticking , they haven't been touched in the 3 and 1/2 years that I have had the bike , going to have a go at cleaning them during the winter .

pads can cause a wheel vibration, also discs, disc bobbins, wheel bearings, and loose bolts!!
