Hello all,

I decided to start using the front wheel brake more often as I've read that front wheel braking is more effective in general than using the rear wheel brake. However, after riding slowly a while getting used to using the front as primary, I feel that the braking is slightly "wobbly" when slowing down from high speeds.

Basically, under hard braking, the front wheel feels like it will pull slightly to the right and left alternately. This is a pretty unsettling feeling when trying to slow from a downhill. The wheel seems to be true when I spin it. Nothing wobbling.

Is this normal behavior that I just have to get used to or is there an adjustment I can make?

I'd bet the headset needs adjustment.
