Hi Kwak,
I have a silver K3 also. About 8 months ago whilst I was doing some advanced training my rear calliper lost a bolt. It must have come out due to the vibtrations? It resulted in a severely scratched rear wheel, caused by the pad pivoting round the pin and catching on the rim. The calliper also took a bit of a beating and is well chipped. As I had ear plugs in the first i knew of it was when the back brake stopped working. Not handy on a training session  .My bike was still in warranty and I spoke to the dealer that I got it from and they were not interested at all even although they were the only ones to ever touch the bike...... Must have had a really thorough PDI.... No wonder they are no longer..... Message to all, check your bolts! |

The rear on the curvey is solid and does not move on the bracket at all, not sure about the pointy though.

yep pointy has a floating caliper set up but then tsm you did put a pointy caliper on your curvy or is that like your gilles rear sets
 as for tightness stick to the torque settings or you will end up with a striped thread on the caliper mounting bracket
