"One other rare source of /7 wobbles is the cushion (ramp & spring) in the driveshaft. Under a modest load (say two-up at 70 mph) the spring winds up slightly and then releases, which imparts an up-down oscillation in the rear, that feels similar to a very out-of-balance front tire. This seems to be self-healing, as the ramp and cam wear into a better fit. My point is, if you can get past the terror, try to figure out whether the problem is at the front or at the rear."
Quoted from pmdave in a Campfire thread about wobbles.
The aforementioned spring broke in my bike last friday, making for a very hairy ride home. As I mentioned in the other thread, here's a picture. Has anyone else had any experience with this?
