why?

I actually asked myself the same question when I changed the setup. My thought was that, since the GP 4-Season is not designed for tubeless use, the tyre might not have been sitting properly on the rim and could perhaps have contributed to the instability.

I also noticed that the compression plug and some of the screws were not tightened to the specified torque anymore. After re-tightening everything, the front end feels noticeably stiffer and the situation seems improved.

That said, I haven’t yet trusted myself to go above 60 km/h again, so I can’t say for sure that the issue is completely solved.

Hi everyone,

I recently experienced a front-end wobble once while descending at over 60 km/h with a slight crosswind. It was quite scary, but gently applying the rear brake stopped the oscillation.

My setup is:

LCR-018, size 56
50 mm wheels
32 mm tyres

I checked the headset carefully and there is no play in any direction.

I know that a few other members have experienced a similar issue. Did you manage to identify the cause, and what solution worked for you? Was it related to the headset, wheel or tyre setup, wheel depth, spoke tension, or rider position?

Thanks for your advice.
