    haven't had this problem in years, the classic trembling or shaking of your fork and front end of your bike while applying your front brakes,

    what can i do to avoid this ?

    i'm more concern in the long run, i don't think is good to give my fork that extra strain

    Any extra strain isn't going to hurt the fork. The classic suggestions apply:

    • Make sure your headset is tight.
    • Check your wheel for trueness. If untrue, true.
    • Toe your brake pads in.
    • Change brake pads.
    • Make sure your quick release is sufficiently tight.

    Any of those could be the source of your problem.
