    Anyone have this? Not sure if it just because I'm listening for it more, but they seem a little clunky / whirring when pulling up to a slow / initial stop... possibly the bobbins? You can feel it through the front tyre as a droning feeling ... but again only as you slow to a near stop.

    No issues at all with vibration at speed, etc... brakes work perfectly fine.

    OE discs with Brembo RC pads and Brembo RCS MC.

    Typically I sold my spare front discs a few weeks ago that I could have tried :)

    Yeah, I had that recently. Pads were 3/4 worn, I've replaced the pads with Double Hs and it has reduced, but still there right at the tail end of the stop. I was wondering whether it was wheel bearings. When I get to the bottom of it, I'll let you know.

    Cheers... will check the wheel bearings... bike has done 20k now.

    It goes on track in two weeks so if it's an issue it needs sorting.

    From reading up ... common with aftermarket pads apparently as they are harder.
