My bike sounds like a bucket of bolts when riding on gravel (tarmac is fine) and I tracked the problem down to the floating discs on the front. They seem to "bounce" around, causing a racket.

Did a bit of research and it seems to be a common problem with loose rivets on the front discs. Have any of you experienced this problem AND/OR came up with a fix?
