That sounds a little odd.

As you're stopping does it shudder or do anything else that feels not right. Might be a badly warped disc but I would've thought it would have to be pretty bad to make the lever move.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

yer it does.. but the disc doesnt look warped at all.. my mum is jst guessing that theres something on the disc.. but i think its wearing down cos the handle doesnt bounce as much..

wheel balance, or warped disc, take the disc off just dont look at it and rest the edge of a ruler along it on different angles see if its warped.
