    Wobbling??

    doesn't do it at all when barely holding the bike.. Then I suppose you naturally lean back and straighten back to do handsfree mode so guess something happens to what you call geometry then after all. Does it a. Happen or b. Not happen on your bikes?

    Bosch Spider Tool alternative
