On today’s ride, we were going down a fairly steep descent at about 45mph. I am a wussy descender so was about 10 feet off the back, but at some point near the end of the descent I saw everyone slow down by a few MPH. I did not witness this, but apparently one rider had severe front wheel wobble and said he was close to going down. I am guessing this was a driven/sympathetic vibration at a specific resonant frequency, but thankfully have never experienced it. Anyone know about this??
