    Flipped the runner because my rear brake failed :w00t:
    My own fault because i was going to bleed the brakes today but never got time.

    So anyway, everything is hunky dory BUT at slower speeds + at idle, there is a mahoosive vibrating through the bars, but it fucks off if i speed up.

    Any idea's?

    Yeah back to the sensible replies.
    I don't flip wheelies thank you very much, my rear brake was getting waaaaay to fucking spongy and i fucked up lol.

    Brake to the bar whilst coasting at 40mph = a slow and funny crash.

    Checked ya head race bearings? May of come a bit loose as they do in some crashes.

    Figured it was probably that.
    Never had it before though, so that'd cause it to vibrate through the bars?

    Loose bars, imagine it. Think of it like one of those lil spinning wheels you used to spin as a kid. When slow they wobble but when they are quick they don't :nerd:

    depending on how hard you came down on the front wheel (if you did) could be front wheel bearings

    but tbh i reckon its the head race's

    Oh mate , i wish it was on video, it was fucking amazing!

    I came rode around the speedbumps on the back, saw some peds down the end of the road so i gave it large and thought i'd coast it.

    Was sitting there happily, started to drop too far back, grabbed the rear brake, NOTHING, so i was grinding the rear light when it started to go sideways, so i jumped off the side and pushed it over with my hands, and ran past my bike llmao.

    picked it up, beat the steering back into line and wheelied off again lol.
