Hi everyone,

I just received my brand new Canyon Grizl CF6 with the SRAM Apex group. Since this is my first bike with disc brakes, I’m still learning what’s "normal" and what isn't.

I noticed that the brake pad clip (and the pads themselves) seems to be a bit loose and has some play. I also hear a slight "click" sound whenever I engage the rear brake.
Is this movement expected with SRAM Apex calipers, or should the clip/pads be more firmly in place?

Thanks in advance for the help!

New Canyon Grizl CF6 – SRAM Apex: Is this amount of play in the brake pads/clip normal?

  1. I went to check on mine and I have the same. I think it’s pretty normal and does not interfere with braking

    Normal and necessary. If it wasn’t there, you’d be dragging your pads on the disc the whole time and make drag and noise. It happens when pistons get lazy.
