All had forks that were out of symmetry by 2mm or more. We (through the various fork vendors) replaced their forks with forks that were less than 1 mm out. They now enjoy going downhill at speeds over 35 mph without fear of getting the wobbles. They also notice greater ease in going no hands. Interestingly, through crash inspections and repairs, we found a few people with forks that were pretty bad yet didn't report having trouble with stability. These were typically very skilled riders. So it appears that speed wobble can be prevented by having straight forks or with rider technique. -------------------- Craig Calfee Post Extras
