Could this really be enough to tip things into general instability? The bike seems to think so, but I'm curious if anyone has run into a similar situation after going to a Technomic.
Not sure how a stem change could induce a no-hands shimmy. I suspect something else is the cause.

FWIW, I just changed a 95mm SR Royal stem to an 80mm Technomic with no shimmy problems.
