 |
|
I'm doing around 45-50, I lift my hands off the handlebars (to pull up my gloves as cold air was going up my jacket arm) and my handlebars start to shake side to side , they were only moving a very short distance, but quickly.. I typically shat myself, grabbed the handlebars and continued to ride.
The weird thing is, the bike wasn't moving it just continued in a straight line, I didn't even notice my handlebars were shaking until I looked down and saw them moving.
My questions are, what could be causing them to shake and is it something to be concerned about?
Thanks in advance, Az  |

Start with the simple stuff, tyre pressures, tyre wear, wheel balance.  |

Wheel balancing or top box are my first checks.
Obviously if you don't have a top box, the balancing is the next one.  |
