I always thought that was caused by warped brake discs.

No, I am a engineer and measured disc and they are well in tolerance....it's something else...i am doing investigation..
Re: Pulsating break pedal
Loosen all the rear wheel nuts and retorque them carefully in two stages. 90 then 180nm in the correct order.
T25s are really fussy when tightening the rear wheel nuts (At least mine is)
works for me

Re: Pulsating break pedal
I had this problem. It was caused by uneven wear on the rear wheel hubs causing the rear brakes to pulsate. Replaced those and the problem went away.

When I had the same issue it turned out to be a damaged rear tyre .

Re: Pulsating break pedal
Mine was a warped rear drum caused by a rear cylinder seizing. New drum sorted it. (+ cylinder)
