Shuddering in front disc brake.
Everytime I grab the front brake hard, I can feel and hear it shudder, feels and sounds like there's a bump on the brake disc or something making it vibrate 6-10 times a second. But everything is smooth and I don't feel it with low pressure, it's only when I grab it hard that I feel this. Anyone know why?

Hopefullly your rotors and pads aren't contaminated. Clean your rotors with rubbing alcohol and replace your pads if you have oil all over them. Next check to see if all six rotor bolts are nice and snug. If you stil have a problem with your front brakes, it might be caused by a miss-alligned caliper. Go to a good bike shop and have your fork's disc brake tabs faced
