Malcolm I've never had any brake pad knock back problem thank god.
Does the GTD use Cortina uprights as in the RF? and could the spindle flex be due to the smaller spindle shaft at 1.06" as Jac Mac described?
Is that first part is it what you meant to say about castor adjustment?

Yes, bog standard GTDs use the UK cortina upright. Can't say whether that is the same as RF as not seen one up close. Spindle flex certainly not helped by small shaft and small bearing. Does it matter what makes the pads get knocked back? If you got it you need to solve it. If you don't you can keep going with current set up.
