I like that idea, absorb some of the resonant energy present in the loaded
rack, which is presumably vibrating.

Dear Nicole &tc
Perhaps cork or leather fender washers (as sold by Velo Orange, Rene Herse
(Boulder), and others) at the rack mounting bolts would provide sufficient
damping to deal with the shimmy, yet allow enough tightening torque on the
bolts to prevent them from working loose over time due
Congrats!
I don't think its related to the self-restoring force. That is supposed to
be generated in the tire/road contact patch.

One of my Rivs shimmied mildly with narrow tires; replacing them with
31 mm Kojacks seems to have put a stop to it -- tho' when I replace
the seat wedge with a small front rack bag, it may come back. As
Scotty said, the causes are legion.
