It "hit" at 44 mph. I know your feeling as it was like riding a bronco. It had never happened prior to that instance. I thought it could have been me or a fluke and I went back the next week. That wasn't the best idea in the world as I got to relive that experience. I then changed the wheelset. With the wobble I had a Spinergy Rev X on the front and a conventional wheel on the back. I went back with another wheelset and the problem never came back. I'd get the headset checked by a top mechanic as well. While you are there I'd tell him/her what happened and have the bike checked over. Good luck. There was a heated discussion on this topic on the Serotta forum a few weeks ago. Some folks felt it was vitually always rider error. My experience spoke otherwise. Plus I live in Western PA so you have fast descents on every ride. All I know is I hope I never experience one again! Post Extras
