re loading the atlantis in front, I found years ago that mine, maybe because it’s a big frame/68, shimmied with heavily loaded panniers in front…you can exhaust yourself trying to find why bikes shimmy. I did two things: replaced the original headset with a needle bearing one riv sells and that helped; also put a velo orange front wheel stabilizer on, which doesn’t really help with shimmy, but with wheel flop when the front wheel’s loaded.
at any rate I don’t overload the front of my atlantis, and the basket alone, with a big sackville saddlesack in back, carries all I need. maybe not if I did fully loaded touring though. and the f34’s still for sale. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
