Hi, my wife's Wisper 705 SE that we bought in 2018 has developed a strange clicking sound, not unlike when you get something caught in your spokes, except it appears to be coming from the front brake or rotor and only when you're applying the brake.
Both the front & rear brakes are still efficient and appear to have enough on the pads for it not to be them, and the rotor also looks to be running true, but there appears to be a tiny bit of lateral movement from the rotor when the clicking starts, so I am guessing the brakes are a single piston design which might be causing the clicking as the rotor passes the edge of the pads, except it is only happening on the front brake. Does anyone know which model of Tekro disc brake they are, as it isn't mentioned in the manual?
I have checked the "spokes" on the rotor to make sure nothing was catching on them, and I guess it wouldn't break the bank to change the pads to rule them out, but I am at a loss to know what else to do to cure the clicking for my wife's peace of mind.
