Twitchy steering fix?
-- I bought an Independent Fabrication steel Crown Jewel used - it's a stock frame (non custom) with an IF steel fork - straight blades. It has very "twitchy" steering when I'm in a descending tight corner. I tend to oversteer in those situations. The bike feels like it pulls into the turn to a point where I'm about to loose control. To compare I have a Trek 5200 (new in 2000, 60cm frame) that I use the same wheels on and has almost the same fit. The only major difference I can find with my tape measure is the IF has 42cm handlebars while the Trek has 44cm. I never notice my cornering problem when I'm on the Trek. Anyone have opinions on how I can "smooth out" (or slow down, or make it less responsive) the high speed cornering on the IF bike? Will different forks make a difference - any advise on what to go to? Any other changes that make make a difference in handling? Thanks, Al Sharff |
