Its you're wood spacers most likely. Frame is flexing up and down and binding on the wood.

That or a completely different problem by coincidence.

they aren't, and I figured out what it was, it was that I reused the brake caliper clips so the were loose and it was the calibers sliding forward I replaced the calipers (needed to be anyways) and the clips, no more noise
