i recently changed brakes on my ebike from tektro to magura mt5. first day on local trails was superfine, after second day rear brake needed some adjustements (one of the screw on caliper was a bit loosen). then (and i dont know if it has something to do with that loosen screw or not) my wheel started to vibrate during fullstop. brakes are working perfectly, but as soon as i block/fullstop my rear wheel and the wheel is still sliding, it starts vibrating so much i can feel it even in my handlebars and its very very unpleasant (maybe even dangerous?).
i went back to the bike shop, they checked “everything” but they are unabke to indentify the problem.my observations:
nothing seems loosen or be damaged
breaks are working perfectly
vibration is strongest when the turning of wheel has completely stopped but the wheel is still moving on the ground (aka wheel is sliding/skidding)
​
it seems like the vibration is causes by some micromovents back and forth, see attached video. any suggestions, please?
thanks and sorry for my bad englando, not a native speaker

Looks normal from the video. Maybe I’m missing something. Dragging the wheel doesn’t really show anything as far as I know. I test my front wheel for any movement by grabbing the brake and pushing the bike into the ground forward/backward. If the wheel moves, then it’s most likely the brake rotor not being tight.
