just taking a guess but may be low tire pressure, bad bearings, unbalanced tires?

Maybe the whobble was in your head.


But other than what Jam0837 said above it could be anything. Maybe a slick spot on the road, tiny patch of gravel, etc, etc.

I used to get a little wobble out of my bike upon exiting turns... I spent a few days dialing in my suspension to my liking and it went away. In my case, I believe I set everything a bit stiffer.

I'm with Vangill...I think it's tire pressure. Also...are you're rear wheels balanced???

I had that happen to me last night, but I think it was just because of the fact that it was cool out and the city thought that the middle of a tight curve was a good place to paint railroad crossing on the street.

Can't knock you. I did the exact same thing. But the first thing I did was check the tire pressure
