    Bike Setup

    Hey guys, Ended up getting a GT Force Carbon Expert for a really good price, but having some trouble getting it to feel nice. It feels kinda twitchy and uncertain in the front end, especially over bumps or sharp corners, almost like the front wheel wants to go sideways and under the bike...
