Hi all. My Experience with the shimmy is that you'll get shimmy 1. with an over or under inflated tire on front - has to be exactly 17 lb 2. any thing loose in the scissors - they have to be without ANY! play 3. disobey one of these rules and you get shimmy no matter you have a single or double fork.
