Great upgrade to 11 spd.

It in no way looks out of place and in factt compliments the bike beautifully.

Is it just the light or are those new rims blue?

 

[Happy Tom]

Thank you for the compliment, and blue rims Im afraid.

Re:

Very nice.

I'm having an issue with this bike, or maybe just the fork.
When letting go of the handlbar with both hands, bike starts to wobble in speeds above 30 km/h, and is also unstable in lower speeds, meaning I don't wanna let go of the handlebar with both hands at almost any speed. I've ridden it with various different wheelsets and it's all the same
There is no visible damage to the fork.
Does anybody have an opinion of what may cause this?
