Canaris Posted May 13, 2009 Share 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 thingsthree. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatcyclist Posted May 13, 2009 Share 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
