Creaking folks

[Bonzodave]

Hi all I think I already know the answer to this question but here goes my folks are creaking with a deferent bump at the bottom when I rock back and forth with the front brake on, does this mean they are knackered?

Are you sure it's the forks & not the front brake pads knocking in the calipers,put the front tyre up against a wall & then try the forks with brakes off.

Ill fitting pads can cause a knock, as can the outside part of a floating brake disc.
If it's a heavy knock that you can feel in the handlebars then it might need a little tightening at the top end. (steering head)
