...and Grinch, and Studley for a rather spanking rideout today. I thoroughly enjoyed it!! However...
...my bike's developed this really nasty rear-end wobble as I bank round corners... I just set myself-up lovely to take a bend, and as I dip the throttle to dip the bike, it starts to squirm and it throws my bike off it's path. http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif
It's more than a little unnerving, and it's very unpredictable. I've a feeling it's gotta be the rear shock, as it's wound down so tight so's my stumpy-McStump legs can touch the ground. I'm nervous enough already after a year off of it, and this set-back is doing my confidence no good whatsoever. http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif
Anybody got any ideas, other than stretching me on a rack? http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif I don't want peeps to stop riding with me, but I can see it happening as it's making my riding very unpredictable in the corners. http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif http://www.portsdownhill-bikers.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif
