    What I'm calling 'chatter':

    The front is rapidly alternating between good solid bite, and a slipping sensation. As a result, the bike pushes wider than the geometry/lean would steer it, and there is noticeable pulsing transfered through the bars as it occurs. This is much more violent than the typical edge of traction slides/pushes I've experienced. It feels like the front wheel is skipping across the pavement.

    OH THAT'S CHATTER!!! I thought that was just normal.

    I get that coming over the hill right at the tree house and coming out of 10.

    I wouldnt call by the tree house "chatter" but I get it in 9 a bit, seemed worse last weekend. I got it once in one when I went REAL wide, I think it was the old configuration though.

    I been running slicks front/rear so far and get slight chatter in 1 and 9. Nothing that is causing issues at my speeds so far. I get the light front/shimmyshimmy by treehouse.
