My bike has fork chatter!

Lame.

It just appeared today on a 6mi ride with my kids to a park. Apparently the 9mph coasting speed was too much for the setup and it cried uncle by chattering every time I applied the front brake.

Nothing is new and nothing has changed recently.
I have some old high level SunTour XC canti brakes with koolstop pads toed-in and use a fork cable hanger.

Never chatter on this bike before, I assume due to the cable hanger I use and the toe-in.
Odd.
Interested to see what needs to be adjusted- the pads? Tighten the cable hanger?

I only mention this due to the odd timing of not happening and I chuckled when I thought about how foreign this topic is on the forum due to tech.
