Thanks will certainly look at the fork/headset.

Canyon Ultimate SLX, tyres Conti 5000 tubeless 28mm

50km may not be super fast but hitting tar at that speed is the problem

Around 50km/h plus

I can say it is freakishly scary. But lets try the options mentioned

I seem to catch a speed wobble around the same area on a pretty fast decent, the bike goes into a serious wobble, the first time I used brakes to slow down but it actually made it worse so now I try peddle through it. What would be the cause of this and what can I do to stop it from happening. The bike is sized right for me so I am puzzled and pretty scared too.

Great, sounds like time to seriously look at the Gravel option. Thanks for the input

So I am curious about Gravel bikes, can you set the bike up that you can hang with the regular road bikes on out rides on both the hills and flats?

Had to google Spirgrips, never seen or heard of them. Looks decidedly odd to me......

the comments all make sense, bit hazardous in thick bush as well

Hi, bar ends seemed to be the in thing a couple of years back but now is almost unseen, it did, or at least I thought, offer a bit of play for the rider to alternate posture, why have the dropped off the scene...........?

Hi, I am fortunate enough to have a weeks holiday on Reunion island, has anyone ridden on the island and if so any tips or suggestions on where to ride etc. Will take mountain bikes but more than happy to cruise regular roads for fun if viable?

Thanks Jacquers

Thanks, will remember for the future
