Wobble

I can think of two things that would cause this. First, a worn, cupped
or under inflated front tire. Second, dry or overtightened neck
bearings. My guess would be the second. If the neck bearings are
adjusted too tight, you will have a very hard time making a smooth turn
and will tend to wobble through it. Not really noticeable at higher speeds.
If wobble is not caused by front end, maybe a seriously out of round
rear tire might cause a problem like that. I've never seen that happen,
but I suppose it's possible.I would try loosening the adjusting nut on
the fork stem just a tad first and see if that helps.
