Still the cause/correction is baffling to me. I just don't see how moving the cable stop from the steerer to the fork crown eliminates the shudder.

I dont believe it eliminates the shuddering on all bikes. Some shudder more than others. Ive read that varbon forks shudder more than steel(who know if true). I've read tall head tubes are more prone to shudder due to distance between the headset stop and the brake hanger.

There is no 1 exact solution and sometimes its just 1 change or other times its multiple changes to fix the issue.
