My experience has been that it's weight distribution problem. I had a Hobo Baggins bag as a saddle bag, with the usual load'o'crap; tools, tubes, lock, etc. I would occasionally get shimmy going downhill. Moving the Hobo to the handlebars solved the problem.
I also experimented with weight in 4 panniers after encountering some shimmy while touring. Using books as ballast, and my shimmy inducing downhill as a control, I discovered that things were rock solid with 60% of the weight on the front. Since then, If I'm only doing a 2 bag trip (lodging or an overnight) I put the bags on the front. dougP On Monday, March 23, 2020 at 7:01:24 PM UTC-7, Friend wrote: > > Does anyone have suggestions for correcting a wobble I get when I ride > with no hands? > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
