When braking front end clicks - can be felt on the brake lever

[stegula]

As subject describes, when braking i can feel the front end clicks - can be felt on the brake lever. Steering head bearing is ruled out. Also, while still, with applied brakes no clicking is present while i swing the front. Against the wall as well - no clicks.

So the scenario is when i ride at some speed and start applying the brakes, at one point of brake pressure ot clicks...

Please help me diagnose somehow.

Loose caliper?  Wheel bearing?  Did you check that the pads and retaining pin/clip are installed correctly?

This clicking started just today and is present with every breaking, will retighten everything tonight.

All suggestions are welcome.

Found the click - it's on the right caliper. Will remove the calipers tomorrow and see whether there is any visible clicking cause.

A small amount of this is normal due to the way the discs move, but it only ever happens at really slow speed and light brake pressures, check your pad's mounting surfaces, the caliper is made of a fairly soft alloy and the pads can dig in causing groves, you might be going over one of them when braking.

The caliper pistons were quite dirty, after cleaning, all back to normal. I guess that a bit of that dirt was able to pass the washer. I hope it doesn't leak now.

Check the wheelspeed ring and sensor. Could be loose and touching.

hi
I recommend replacing the rubbers under the steering wheel:
catalog number 31428569759 (left) and 31428569760 (right) stopped jumping for me and vibrations on the steering wheel are less noticeable.
in my case I felt it from about 25,000 mileage.
greetings,
Bart

That's a completely separate thing, shouldn't have any effect on brakes.
