tapping sound when braking
#1
When I use the front brake I get an audible tap/knock coming up from the front wheel.  It happens once per squeeze of the brake lever.  so if I quickly apply the brakes say 10 times in 5 seconds I get 10  taps.  I can't get it to do it when stationary and applying the brakes.  Presume it happens at high speed too but can't hear it for wind noise obviously.


I did give the front wheel a tug the other day and there doesn't seem to be any bearing movement.


The bike had new pads about 18 months ago, but it's only recently that I've noticed it.


Any common problems that people know about?


cheers
