The front left caliper with the duel braking system have a piston rattle when I ride the bike I checked the pads and that the system are in order.When I ride and braking I cannot feel any problem accept the noise.
Any advise what to check on the caliper? I don't really know how to describe the problem better! please help!

How do you know it's a piston rattle? If you pop the caliper off, can you get it to rattle or anything? I can't really imagine a piston just floating around.
