Certainly, rider actions can initiate or exacerbate a bike's tendency to shimmy. I believe Jobst's FAQ discusses this. However, if some characteristic as a side effect makes a bike more likely to shimmy and the rider selects for the presence of that characteristic, that could explain this as well. > How else can it be explained? If a badly loaded handlebar bag caused it, and the rider transferred that badly loaded bag from bike to bike, that could also explain it. If certain sizes were more likely than others to do it, and this rider happened to need that particular size, that might explain it as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
