First ride after fork rebuild: brake funkiness + fork oil question

[Steve Northrop]

They can be lubed but need some play so the calipers can float. They wear as 
they take the brunt of the braking forces put on the caliper. All I can 
think is that so much other stuff on the front end was moving that now that 
everything is tight, it's the only thing you notice.
