The helmet story was mentioned to make a point about keeping ones hands on the bars. *I thought it humorous* that the other rider mentioned my lack of helmet all the while riding *no handed* but...... actually I was responding to Williams comment about his Hilsen....."my* Rawland does shimmy* coasting no handed at above 16mph or so and *the Hilsen does noti*. Maybe I'll get a needle bearing headset to try and get after that a little. * My Hilsen is totally shimmy-free*". The fact that his Hilsen does't shimmy doesn't surprise me since it has enough trail. Shimmy at any speed could be terrifying if you are not expecting it which is the main point I wanted to make in that Grant designs that out of his frames by adding enough trail. It may compromise straight line handling or the ability to hold a line better up a slow grinder but overall it results in a safer ride IMO.
