Is it any different with the light on or off? I get this with my Shimano dyno-hubbed wheel when the light is on, and that also has a virtually new rim, brand-new brakes. FWIW, i've noticed it more this winter when i'm riding in the wet slop, not so much in the dry, and (i think anyway) it happens more since i changed to the new Tektro wide cantis i have on there now. In my case, anyway, i think it's some vibration from the hub resonating through the fork and either amplified by the wide cantis or maybe they're just in a harmonic arrangement or something. It feels odd, but not (to me) worrisome. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
