    OH, serenity now!!

    Damn bike.
    Brakes on the new bike were making noises in the rear rotor on descents (esp. during right turns I've whittled it down to) and I could also feel it all the way up into the lever.
    No prob, bleed 'em. Nope.
    Check rear end for misalignment. Nope.
    Rip off the Juicys and get some zooty new Hayes Stoker/stroker/whateveerthefucktheyare (I like em now that theyve burned in though!). Nope.
    Still, I get the rear rotor twisting like a shit into my calipers while braking/leaning right (with a thru axle as well).
    Anybody else get this with FSR designs?
    Should I stop using the brakes altogether? Brakes are overrated.
    Should I put down the donut?
    I don't wan't to exile to a world of spin class for exercise. Too dangerous.
    Damn bike.

    People might see a Norco Six frame for sale in the offseason.

    I got it until I (presumably) broke in the brakes. Sometimes it happens intermittently. I attribute to me being heavy and the bike flexing.

    Don't worry about it? I dunno.

    What year norco 6 is it?


    Those old ones flexed like a beyotch.

    If it's a new one.......well, then yeah, I'd just look at your axle interface and make sure everything there and in your pivots is nice and tight. It definitely sounds like it's just some flex somewhere.

    I have a new Norco 6 and get the turkey gobble/vibration sound in the rear, but from my understanding it's more an Avid thing than frame-specific.
