Couldn't that effect be simply because of the inertia of the wheels that they also have when they're not spinning?

- Empedocles99 16y agoThat might be the case... I mounted a heavy U-lock on the front forks of a mountain bike, made steering very heavy. Felt pretty similar to a heavy wheel to me. Of course this is all subjective (my observation, and the parent's downhilling observation). Definitely easier to steer lighter wheels regardless of speed.
- mikeklaas 16y agoAlthough, when the total weight of the bike is high, it is better to have weight up front too (front+rear panniers). Otherwise, steering feels flimsy.
