Hi ddt  I don't suppose you could get a photo of what you did.  Ours does that occasionally on steep hills. Almost embarrassing

Can you describe this brake pad shuttering.  The other day I noticed a noice that I described as "chattering" for lack of a better term.  It has done it a few times but usually on a slope or when the machine is in a slight twist never at any speed.  I thought about the brakes but wasn't sure.

mine only dis this at low speeds and was very irritating
fitted 2 open springs to the sliders of the pad , thus putting some pressure on the pads when not in use keeping them away from the disc ,
now nice and quite no issues any more
