My experience. On my Calfee D'Fly the only instance of shimmy was descending Whiteface Mtn after the hillclimb. Cause - shivering. Adding clothing fixed it! On my old Colnago Mexico - probably the most flexiblw steel frame ever - it developed the wobbles at about 30 mph - but only when I tried to use very light wheels. With the usual Campy Sigma (?) never a problem. I've also heard of people having this problem gradually develop and then go away when changing to new tires. Way back (40 yrs ago!) I worked on Airframe design - stability issues. I suspect that bike shimmy is about as complex and multi sourced. Post Extras
