My gf told me she thought she heard a rattle while we were riding so I pulled over to make sure everything was ok.

Everything checked out except that when I grab the rear caliper and shake it using a descent amount of strength, there is a tiny amount of play in it(moving side to side a little. The fronts had no play.

Is this normal or did something come loose? Rear brake feels and performs the same as it always has....

 

Just went out and tried it. Seems to be normal. There's like 1 or 2mm play. But then again, I could be fucked too

LoL, I hope not.

Thanks for taking the time!

 

that is normal operation guys. any disc brakes need to be able to slide and release as you operate the brakes. now if you put pressure on the brakes and they still wobble you have issues, as the caliper should be clamped firmly on the disc.

 

I noticed this when I was putting my rear tire back on. I thought it was normal, and it does not seem to do it when the rear brake is engaged.
