Shimmy rules: 1. Relax. Shimmy's hate nervous riders. Breath, relax the hands, and squeeze the top tube with your knees. The shaking will go away.
2. Check you headset. Loose headsets are an obvious. 3. decrease your front end weight. Handlebar bags, rando boxes. and other items that place weight high and forward can contribute to front end instability. 4. If all else fails, consider using a taper bearing headset. These do work to reduce shimmies.
