RE: RV10-List: Knock When Releasing Brake Gear Leg Shake
Stumbled on the cause by accident. I had tried usual culprits including adjusting tire pressures, checking for tire flat spots, re-balancing wheels, balancing wheel pants, rotating tires, checking alignment and installing the wooden braces. The braces shifted the roll-out speed when shaking occurred but nothing I had tried eliminated the problem. Time came for new tires. While balancing the wheels I noticed that the right wheel and tire were true but the brake disk had a slight wobble. Then I remembered the slow-taxi brake shoe “chatter” I would sometimes hear. Chatter stoped with slight application of right brake pedal. Turns out that the brake disk was not warped and only needed to be trued up against the wheel. The thinnest shims I had were too thick so I ended up using double sided razor blades. A little trial and error brought it all into alignment. Gear leg shake issue resolved.

“This thread reminds me that I never explained how I resolved the "gear leg shake"”
so how did you?
I saw that there was a wedge of wood placed on the back of the leg that was meant to dampen the leg shake. I randomly get it on landings, so haven’t pursue doing it myself.

This thread reminds me that I never explained how I resolved the "gear leg shake"
issue. No one has mentioned it for a long time. Problem solved?

Hey Sean,
Just a reminder about the issue of sometimes the pedal itself doesn't
completely release. There is a release passage at the very bottom of the
master cylinder on the pedal that keeps pressure on the line if the pedal
doesn't retract fully. I actually rigged up springs to help the pedals
retract until someone pointed out that the spring in the cylinder is
adequate for the job IF there is no binding in the hinge rod through the
bottom of the pedal. Making sure that the holes for that rod are drilled
straight is a much easier fix. That may not be your problem, but may be
worth checking out.
Later, - Lew
