I like my Ram very much (and got a splendid deal from Mr. Whalen, to whom thanks again) but two handling quirks make me pause and think.
The first and worst is the way it wanders on steep, slow climbs, particularly with 20 lb or more in back, when I am sitting back and pushing a low gear. It's hard to keep it tracking straight. I don't notice this with my other bikes. (I often stand and climb, so even this is not a huge problem Second, and far less important, is that it does not "turn in" to corners as quickly or nimbly as my customs. If I were to get a lower trail fork made for it, could I expect less such wandering when seated and climbing steeply? What would such a lower trail fork do to the turn-in? I would take the opp to get low rider mounts brazed on any new fork, too. Thanks. Patrick Moore, who is going to try some gratuitous seated climbing today just to check the handling again, in Rio-Rancho-near-Albuquerque, NM.
