dreaded speed wobbles

[ahmedbadat]

Thank you to all you guys for the advice, tried squeezing the top tube with my legs and my problem seems to have been 80% resolved, rode the same descents where every time I went above 35kph the speed wobbles would start, this weekend I was blasting down 50kph and higher :clap:and i kept up with the other guys, the waves were starting exactly like always but as soon as I squeezed the top tube it seemed to stop them from getting bigger and kept them very small and manageable. thank you again

I would try to move my weight forward, and relax.

Lean forwards weight/ press on the bars, don't sit up at speed

At DC this year, descending Tradouw I was pissed of with myself for not managing to break the 85kmph barrier but for my weight Category I should be proud of that achievement, just a few meters behind me my team mate came down at 80kmph taking off some of his skin & testing how solid the barrier is in the process. Speed wobble was to blame, get that bike/wheels sorted, I won't mentioned names as to where the bike was serviced a couple days before DC.
