Yeah. That is my experience as well. Mostly it's about the weight between fore/aft. They tend to be speed-specific. They'll happen at 18 mph, but not at 17, for example.
Jobst wrote some (fairly strongly opinionated) missives about this - this came up first: https://www.sheldonbrown.com/brandt/shimmy.html The only time I've had a wobble was one brevet on the Hilsen, in which I'd aft-loaded 2x the amount of planned gear due to a weather change, had nothing on the front, and sat up as I crested a hill and glided no handed. Got a wiggle-wiggle-wiggle and shifted forward slightly, at which point it stopped. I never managed to reproduce it with more mindful loading. Ride buddy JimG had a long struggle with his Kogswell on this topic - he had documented it well, which ought to be searchable through his site - http://yojimg.net/bike/ Jim / cyclofiend On Thursday, March 26, 2020 at 4:46:49 AM UTC-7, Peter White wrote: > > I've never found that wheel alignment, which is actually frame alignment, > has any effect on wobble.
