Technical strange noise going round tight/fast right hand bends

[mzhussein]

as described, i get a metallic noise (like metal on metal) scraping when i go round a tight fastish right hand bend, dont feel anything, and only just audible, music on so never noticed it b4, but herd it today goin round a roundabout....

cant think what it could be...

drop links might be the first point of call

Slow down a bit, or try bending the thin metal back plate away from the brake disc a bit?

would drop links cause a metallic rubbing??

ah ha! sounds exactly like what i think that metal back plate rubbing would sound like!

edit: oh and it seems to be coming from the rear....

I have to say, this would be my first port of call as well

The nearside rear calipers tend to rust up where the pads slide in their grooves. This can cause brake bind and then wear - evidenced by squeaking, or by mettalic noise when pads worn out! Check your pads arent binding and whilst youre at it check they are not worn out. Its worth getting these slides lubed at every service - but this is not on the standard schedule you have to ask for it to be done.
Weve also had the thin plate shielding the disc bent so that it scrapes on the disc and squeaks as ffoxy describes.

well i painited my calipers like 3 days ago, and had a good inspection and a clean, i dont think there binding, as the rotors spun nicely, not worn out yet, will be replaced with EBC's all round in the summer when i can be bothered to get the caliper wind back tool.....
