  • Has anyone tried one of these:

    steering damper

    Does it work (for reducing speed wobble and front-wheel judder) ?

    I guess this is the simple version:

  • We have something similar on one of the Bullitts I use for work. It makes a huge difference to how the bike handles. All of the Bullitts without it suffer from the front wheel flapping all over the place quite alarmingly at any sort of speed. The one that has the stabiliser is much more confidence inspiring! I have no idea what brand the one we use is but I'd definitely recommend something along those lines.

  • I commuted on an electric Bullitt for 4 weeks now. It has the hydraulic damper and it handles like a ski even on snow and rough surfaces. Never tried one without but the steel replica i'm building will definately have a steering damper/stabilizer.

  • Personally i hate the damper,slower steering and less feedback from the front wheel.they are useful if you load around 100kg regularly as they avoid the ftont wheel to turn over 180° when doing tigth manouvers
