  • Is it possible somehow that my bike is picking up vibrations from near cars and stuff?

    I have my phone mounted on my stem via a spacer thing with a holder so was just thinking it was that making the odd vibration that I was feeling in the bars. Checked phone and it's not that.

    Bar tape is the velox stuff so I get a very full feel and this vibration is tiny but bugs me.

    Have checked it at home and office and it vanishes hence the outside "noises" and air pressure and things maybe being the cause?

  • Is your bike some kind of divining rod? Are you picking up water sources or ley lines?

  • Are you cold?

  • during your rides do you exceed the speed of sound ?

  • Loose guards or road buzz continuing after you have stopped..?

    Bike is possessed?

    PS - Reece - "ley lines"

    Are you definitely dead stationary? If you creep forward even a few mm with your brakes not-quite-fully-on you can get weird brake chatter.

  • this ^

  • Is your bike cold?

  • Is your bike cold?

    or scared?

  • shuddering, thinking about the atrocious riding it's just been subjected to

  • Are you cold?

    No. Switch between mtb and single speed sometimes and only get this on the single speed.

    Maybe, how do you tell?

    during your rides do you exceed the speed of sound ?

    Depends, was it a fast or slow sound?

  • Can you comment on the quality of the vibrations...?

    Are they...

    OR

  • Could this be a bike fit issue? Are you putting too much pressure on hands/saddle?

  • does it really vibrate?
    at different speeds?

    If so, dibs.

    I usually unclip my left foot and then wait with my right still clipped in until I pull away again. Creep forward/back a few mm is always possible so will check the brakes some more.

    Any reason my "controlled" indoor stuff wouldn't find that?

    If so, dibs.

    I guess so, can get pinch flats on potholes and stuff too.

    phone derek akora

    Don't have his number.

    No, when stopped I'm out of the saddle and just standing over my bike ready to set off again.

  • resonant frequencies
    put it in your bathroom and sing at it
    starting with low frequencies and gradually getting higher

    you'll encounter some odd effects

    They won't let me do that, not after the last time.

  • what brand is it? Charge?

  • what brand is it? Charge?

    Dunlop frame with omega rims/wheels, charge saddle, deda bullhorns, giant stem random other bits. With any luck my gf will stop paying attention to how many bikes and bike parts are around so I can order a pre cursa frame.

    Do people still buy whole bikes?

  • how old is it? could it conceivably be old enough to be referred to as a boneshaker?

  • what brand is it? Charge?
