I ride a Defy, it does exactly what i was looking for in that i can ride it for miles without being uncomfortable. Occasionally when i'm out a bit of fast riding and the odd sprint happen, and pride insists that i take part, and it's been fine for that too but last Friday i attended a kiddies cycle club type thing. I was with a friend whose son and mate go, the kids get charged but under the pretence that us adults know something we go free. The cycle club takes place at a local running track and basically we were just doing laps at a steady pace doing exercises but the odd sprint broke out now and then and it felt like everyone was giving as much as they could, me included, more possibly than i should have at certain points. Now after all that comes the question, hopefully you're still with me. When i was properly putting the power through the pedals my front wheel started bouncing about a bit, is this due to the bike geometry or my position on the bike or being in the wrong gear or do i just put out more watts than modern bikes can handle?
