Speed Wobble on Road Bike

[Roux 1]

Why does certain road bikes get a wobble at a certain speed??

 

Wobble --- lateral movement of the frame to such an extent that if you do net get it under control you will fall/crash

I think that you need to start worrying about tidying up your lawn !! The neighbours are starting to complain.

four things:

 

one.  what are you doing on a road bike, when there are MTBikes?

two.  sometime it is not the frame but the tyres or some other things

three. clamp your knees on the top tube to give the frame some lateral stability.

four.  if that does not work, you are going to crash and die.  GEt some reeligion very quickly.

i've had it once on my roadbike. scared the crap out of me.

 

it's called shimmy (not to be confused with the stormers 3rd choice hooker)

 

googling a question sometimes returns an answer

hubbing a question sometimes gets hijack

asking sheldon (RIP dude) is always enlightening.

A female hubber who shall remain anonymous once gave me a tip to stop it. Just put one leg against the top tube and it stops. Works great..

after the hooters hijack, fatmod you have opened yourself up.  Think if she did this the wobble would stop and some shuddering and shaking may occur.

Only you can take something cycling related and turn it in to something...else...
