I first attributed them to the rear-heavy load, but after the tour the problem persisted. It turned out that one of the Secuclip mounts on the front fender had come just a little bit loose and that seems to have contributed to the problem (I can't say for sure because the headset was slightly loose, too). So I think it would be good if SKS used less flexible struts on these fenders.Hobbes vs Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745006035218212607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296519100163016898.post-36969874821353207862011-06-29T04:55:33.070-07:002011-06-29T04:55:33.070-07:00Nope, shimmy hasn't been a problem for me. But...Nope, shimmy hasn't been a problem for me. But I guess they are always very specific to each bike's geometry, weight distribution, resonant frequency etc. Did you have them mounted in front or in the back of the crown fork? Sometimes small things like that can make a big difference.Hobbes vs Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745006035218212607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296519100163016898.post-40159684101271294672011-06-26T20:18:28.722-07:002011-06-26T20:18:28.722-07:00Have you had any problems with front fork shimmy? ...Have you had any problems with front fork shimmy? When I put Longboards on my bike, I could see the front flap oscillating back and forth. If I pulled my hands off the handlebars, it set up a hell of a shimmy.
