I had a Romulus (57cm) and I currently have a Heron Road…. Yes under the right conditions both of these bikes would develop a high speed wobble if no hands. I was able to solve the problem by keeping at least one hand on the bars…problem solved for me anyway. Unless the bike is running for the di

What tires? I had it on my unloaded Rambouillet and I got rid of it in the moment with the knees on the top tube. A bad plan for such events if only on big downhills, requires relenting of muscle groups necessary for keeping shorts unsoiled in those exact seconds. I ditched my whatever-was-my-

Unrelated, but it's the same on my Black Mountain Road+ with any sort of a front load. The thing has Mark's rack mounts, low rider mounts, and 3 pack mounts on the fork, so you would think it could handle a front load better :( Pat in DC On Wednesday, September 1, 2021 at 9:42:14 AM UTC-4 Yank
