I have to believe that shimmy has a strong component of Human Body in it. My

has had many bikes over the years and has had shimmy on every one of them.

Hi Folks -
Claire and I are installing a TA Pro 5 Vis crankset (wide range
double) on her Saluki. We have a 118mm bottom bracket, but it's
clear that a spacer or two will be necessary to make this work on the
drive side, and maybe a longer bottom bracket.
So, anyone out there have a recipe for
Well, one could make the argument that an Atlantis with a carbon fork
is indeed a flawed bike. An Atlantis with a custom low-trail fork?
Everybody needs a hobby. Many very popular hobbies involve the solving
of imaginary problems. I can't wait for the Next Big Thing in this
little universe. Someon
I agree with what folks said here. The Atlantis is meant for heavy
rear loading. A lot of these trail conversations have to do with
riding with no hands. I usually have at least one hand on the bike,
so I've never had this problem. Maybe I just haven't felt it yet.

Jay,
If you think the stem is part of the issue why not try a Salsa quill? With
the high angle model, you can get the bars about as high as a Technomic
Deluxe and those are pretty stiff stems. I would say one of them with a
heat treated Nitto bar is about as stiff as a quill setup can get.

Jeez, my Atlantis sports a front Surly Nice Rack that I've loaded with

I saw that, it's interesting. I've had the shimmies once on my
Rambouillet but I think that was more due to high speed, a cross wind
and my own nervousness. When riding with a full Carradice Barley Bag
it can be hard to ride no handed. I'm curious what others will have to
say.

Interesting article by someone who replaced the fork on their Atlantis
to eliminate the "shimmies".
