What causes knocking or shuddering when applying brakes on my Roadmaster Bicycle?
- AAmy WoodardSep 12, 2025
Knocking or shuddering when applying the brakes on your Roadmaster Bicycle could be due to a bulge in the rim or the rim being out of true, loose brake mounting bolts, brakes being out of adjustment, or the fork being loose in the head tube. You can: * Tighten the bolts. * Center the brakes and/or adjust the brake pads' toe-in. * Tighten the headset.
