I put magnesium wheels on my bike summer 2022 and have rode it pretty intermittently since then. Life as a UPS driver can be brutal. When I do ride it, there is a small front wheel shimmy with the front brake between 30 down to 15 mph. If I don’t apply front brake, there is no shimmy. I have a bunch of upgrades coming in from webike. While I’m at it, what’s the best way to attack this problem? Rotors? New pads? What’s the likely explanation.
