| What is a 'Steering Damper'? It's to do with slow speed riding from what I can gather but what is a Steering Damper and what does it look like? |
 Some time's my mind doesn't only wander, it leaves completely ...........  | |

| Re: What is a 'Steering Damper'? It is a mini shock absorber, which is connected normally between the frame and the yolks (the bits the handlebars and forks are bolted too).. They are not really required for road riding except for some exceptionally poor bikes whose suspension and geometry and a rearward weight distribution means they are prone to tank slappers. There are some pretty ones HERE Last edited by jonnywombat : 06-22-2008 at 01:21 PM. |
