“I am happy to inform you that the jersey look n feel.. fitting and the quality is awesome đ¤Šđđ´đ˝ââ︔
Okay, that rules out the steering bearings then.
Check the bolts which fix the disc rotor to the wheel. If those are not equally tightened then it could make the bike do all sorts of funny things.
Axle is unlikely. This is a very basic thing. But hope the front wheel is fixed properly. Highly unlikely, but still good to check once. If the wheel is not fixed properly it will wobble a bit. And shake a lot on braking.
If there is movement in the handlebar, and not just in the brakes. Then check the steering bearings. If those bearings have worn out, then it will shudder and creak when you brake hard. This will also be noticeable if you hit a big pothole or bump. Basically sudden deceleration at the front end. Is this happening when you hit big potholes?
Can you convert it to rim brakes?
It depends. Does the rim have brake tracks for the rubber pads of the brakes to clamp upon? Does the frame have mounts for the rim brakes to be mounted? It might work out to be expensive to convert this as well!
Do rim brakes have less performance?
For commuting and the kind of riding you described. There will be negligible difference in actual real world usage. And life becomes much simpler in terms of maintenance. But that depends on whether it is possible to convert it to rim brakes on your bicycle!
Need a little more information.
Is the brake assembly shuddering? The axle part or the handlebar?
Also, this is the reason why we never recommend disc brakes on entry level bikes, since they are prone to problems. Not that you can do anything about it now đ
If you can pinpoint the place where the bike vibrates when braking, then it would be possible to find a solution.
