About Shimmy
Some cyclists have experienced disturbing
“shimmy” or “vibration” at certain speeds.
This symptom is rarely reported and there is
no agreement among experts as to the
cause. Among the proposed causes of
shimmy are: a loose headset, frame
alignment problems, weight of front wheel
magnets for cycle computers, and spoke
tension.
Larger riders on larger frames are thought by
some to be more likely to experience such
vibration.
If you experience such a vibration, gently
apply the brakes and slow down. Another
suggestion is to press your leg against the
top tube as you slow down.
WARNING
If you experience “shimmy,” do not
ride continue to ride your bike. Take the
bicycle to your retailer for inspection,
service, or changes.
WARNING
Do not ride on the aero handlebar
extensions in trac or on dicult roads.
Ride on the aero handlebar extensions only
when the road is clear of trac and hazards
and you have a long line of sight.
When using the extensions understand that
you are compromising steering and braking
in favor of speed. If you need to take
evasive steering or braking action while on
the extensions you could have an accident,
with risk of serious injury, paralysis or death.
Aerodynamic handlebars and extensions
are a design trade-o which positions you
further forward than on a conventional road
bike, so:
Overly hard use of the front brakes will
pitch you forward, o the bike, more
easily.
Rear braking performance will not equal
that of a conventional road bike.
When braking hard on any bike, including
time trial or triathlon, you must shift weight
back to allow front brake use without
pitching yourself forward, o the bike.
Shifting weight back allows more rear
braking eect before the rear wheel begins
to skid when braking hard, or braking on a
steep downhill. See PART1 Section 4C. of
this manual.
Aerodynamic handlebars and extensions
are intended for racing and competition in
time trial and triathlon and are poorly suited
for riding in cities or congested urban areas
where conflicts with cars will frequently
require panic braking.
