The front end of my 2006 Trek 5000 scares the living **** out of me at 35+ MPH and I don't know if it's because I'm a lard monkey (6'-1" 190 lbs.) or my frame is a TCT carbon noodle, but I've got to figure something out. I've upgraded the wheels to Race Lites, they run true and the spoke tension had been checked. After searching though various threads on speed wobbles there seems to be a variety of causes so it might be simpler to ask if there are any known weaknesses of the Trek 5000 frame and fork. Would a stiffer frame or fork help?
And I've always been curious about the TCT carbon... In what ways is it inferior to OLCV carbon? I don't mind extra weight, but I want a stout frame... Is TCT a bad choice in my case?
