Yeah im looking at a 62hunq. I like drop bars but every now and then i sit up
straight and pedal no handed. Wobble comes in hard. If your hunq is rear loaded
and you get a chance to test ride it no handed I would love to hear the
results. Separately, your flickr acct. is breathtaking.

Hey All,
Bigger folks who only get a wobble at speed and going straight might consider
that there is some wear in the HS at that orientation.

Good tip I may have to to check

My 56cm single top tube Sam Hillborne shimmies when I'm running only a
Saddlesack Large on top of a rear rack. My 56cm 2TT Bombadil also shimmies
with the identical weight setup, but the frequency is much higher and the
amplitude is much smaller. Looking at shimmy as an underdamped second

Is that a Swift Industries Paloma bag on your handlebars?

Why yes it is! Nice bag. Going to be using it tomorrow on a 200k around
Whidbey Island. I took it for a test wiggle today, and no shimmy with my
tool roll under the seat, and the Paloma up front. Can't wait!

I don't ride no-handed, but I do not get shimmy on my 62cm Hunqapillar
(diagitube) when bikepacking, at that includes sustained descents I'd
estimate at 40+ mph. When I tried front loads other than the small
TrunkSack, I would get shimmy fairly quickly.
With abandon,

I've experienced shimmy/steering wobble riding my 66cm Ram at speed
downhill, no-hands. I like a lot of setback, so I'm positioned in a
rear-weighted fashion, and I'm likely carrying a small load on the bars and
a small-ish load under the saddle.

I'm not especially big (frames ~58 c-c), but 3 of my Rivendells have
shimmied at 15-20 mph speeds and it was not due to headset wear. (I've
never felt shimmy at any other orientation than straight ahead.)
IME, shimmy comes and goes with very odd and very slight changes. None of
these 3 Rivs
My 65cm LongLow (1998 semi-custom with round forks and 33.33 JBs) will
shake if I let go the bars at speeds above a fast running pace and the
front basket is unloaded and I have weight in the back and I'm just
coasting. So I don't usually let go the bars unless I'm pedaling or have a
load in
