Re:Handlebar Shimmy 4 Months, 1 Week ago

I've rode allot of miles on different bikes...a few that shouldna been on the road they were so unsafe.

IMHO any kind of wobble or shimmy on the front end is not normal and should be fixed. It may take a few trials and errors before you find the problem but IMHO there IS a problem. I know a few wings riders and they never had that problem except when they wobbled after too many pops.

Tire pressure is so important, alignment is so important, the tires are so important, weight distribution is so important, and the colour of your bike is most important. That's why I have a red one.
