Re: [ST] ST bar wooble

["Mike Benzon" <fast87@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One other item that can cause the wobble, many bikes wear the front tire
more to one side or the other. Once this condition exist, it will cause a
wobble. The wobble will be mostly noticed at around 45 mph, with your hands
removed from the bars.
