|   XTR Hydro pads Rattle...Any suggestions? | Bikezilla
Jul 29, 2003 10:40 AM | | The pads on my front XTR calapers rattle qite a bit. So much so I thought the spring in my fork was making the noise. It wasn't.
Everything seems tight, apart from the pads. The otherwise work fine.
Setup:
'03 XTR hydro Calapers
Std XT 8" Rotor front, 6" rear
'03 XT Hydro Levers
'03 Marzocchi Z1FR QR20
GRC adaptor
The rear pads seem fine.
TIA

| Spread the pad "helper" springs apart more to help the pads spread... | AndyH

My XT pads developed a bit of a rattle and all I had to do to solve the issue was remove the pads and this metal spring-clip, and gently spread the spring-clip "arms" apart more to help apply more pressure to the pads so they'll sit tight against the pistons when not braking.
Cheers,
