Glad I'm not the only one with this problem, My bike keeps body slamming me to the ground when I turn my bars just that little bit too far. I'm on the hunt for some new forks too.

Sorry, my saturday morning memory isn't great.

i've had problems with this. It's caused by a combination of headtube angle and fork rake. Funnily enough, after myself and Em bent my forks in Rouen, the problem has eased (although not eliminated)

i used to have this problem all the time, but since i changed my handlebars to wider ones and tightened by headset slightly more than necessary, the situation has improved

It's "bar twist of death"
I've put some super straight forks with minimal offset on my bike and have pretty much eliminated bar twist of death but it turns like a tank. I guess there's a fine balance between easy turning and too easily turned.
One small perk I guess is it seems like I can be sitting still and turn my forks 90 degrees and do slow circles in place...James Brown needs some 1 inch fork (or headset) attention as well. I gave him a set of track forks the other day but his headset threading doesn't match up so it goes all loose...

My knees, hips and wrists are all too familiar with the bar twist of death but that's what you get for playing on a little girl's road bike with stupid cut down bars.

I've got one scab/scar that i don't think will ever heel as its the first point of impact. funny thing is i play in shorts all the time, no cuts on my legs its always the right ankle.
i'm tired of my bars flipping round on me whilst playing, anyone got any 1" forks lying around?
