Wobble

Hi.

If I take my hands off of the handlebars at anything above 15 miles an hour my bike develops a wobble. A fast oscillation of the handlebars like what we used to call a speed wobble on a motorbike. Doesn't particularly cause any problems, but any idea what causes it, and could it be a warning of a more serious issue?

BTW its a decathlon triban trail 5 which has front suspension and original tyres. It's done it from new.


Thanks


Andy

    Hmm...thats unusual for a bike that should have plenty of components to absorb the wobble...i.e reasonably fat tyres and shocks. I'd check everything is aligned and tight for starters.
