Wow, so on last nights ride I was in a small group on a long descent. We hit 56mph. Felt smooth and chill... but then all of a sudden I got a tiny wobble in the bars, which over the course of 2-3 seconds turned into a scary back and forth vibration. I slowly got on the rear brake and brought the speed down to about 35 and the wobble stopped. For a second though I though my wheel had come loose or something, it was scary thinking about hitting the deck at highway speed.
THis was the second time last night I felt it, the time before I was hitting about 40 but it wasn't a perfectly smooth road so I thought it was the surface. The time mentioned above was a perfect road... smooth as hell.
Has anyone experienced this? What is the cause and how can I rid myself of this problem... Honestly I don't think I'll be able to let myself get over 35-40 mph on my bike unless I know this problem has been eliminated.
