Sounds like you have brake chatter. You need to "toe in" your pads on the front brake. Most new brake assemblies have a wedge shaped washer between the pad holder and where it mounts. If you loosen the nut that that holds the pad holder to the assembly and turn the washer you can see the relationship betwween the pad and the rim change. Turn the washer so the pad is toed in slightly(the end towards the front of the bike). If your brakes don't have the shaped washer you can put a crescent wrench on the brake arm and CAREFULLY tweak the toe in. Be gentle and good luck!
