It's always at about that 30~40 mph range, I've never had it happen when I take may hands off at 80+ mph. Sometimes it gets fixed with the tapered bearing option, and sometimes not.As probably many (if not most here), i have many other bikes that have done this, even new ones. It concern me more at the beginning not understanding why, but over time I've come to accept that this just happens to some degree with most larger bikes. From what I have read and personally tried over the years, it appears to me that nobody has ever come up with conclusive root cause, and there's no exact single fix (that I know of) for any of them - except keep your hand on the handlebars, at least at that speed where it happens <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😁" title="😁" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f601.png" />.</blockquote>
