My Atlantis shimmied a bit with a rear only load. For self contained tours (4 bags) it was more stable. I experimented with load balance & concluded 60% front / 40% rear worked well. This was all with the original fork. The lower trail (40 mm) of the custom fork seems to have cured the shimmy and the ride is solid & stable with 2 bags in front. With 2 bags in the rear, the back wiggles a bit but nothing annoying. It is more stable with the weight in front. Could be just me & my quirks.
