I have a question related to decending speed and handling.
I have finally been able to get out with my new Lemond Buenos Aris on real roads! While I was out this weekend I got do do some nice hills and some really good decents. I noticed that the bike seemed really sketchy and wobbly compared to my other bike. I had just put new Bontreger RaceX Lite slick tires on it (700x23) in preparation for the good weather.
I am wondering if it is the tires I need to get used to since I haven't used slicks before or if it is how the bike is set up or if it is just that I need to get accustomed to how it handles.
It is really responsive compared to my other bike (Specialized Sirrus Comp).
Could this be a head set issue??
