I was cruising around this weekend, getting a feel for the Seca and having a good time. I clearly haven't got the pilot screws right and the mystery tap is driving me nuts. and it sounds like all the plastic is about to fall off around 4K... Its always the tuning is always what kills me!

Even over all this, I noticed a new sound that I have no idea how to track down.
Its the front brakes. When I'm on the fronts, there is a little rhythmic noise and no vibration that I noticed. Its quiet, but certainly loud enough to hear. It almost sounds like "a card in the spokes" but with the volume turned down.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could go about tracking this down?
