This is true. No problems pedalling with 45 km/h on a flat road. > But when riding downhill, the rear is pushing the front part. The rear > is heavier and thus wants to go faster than the front part.

Also keep in mind, that e.g. on a 16% slope, the steering angle changes and the "pendulum effect" vanishes. > May be slightly breaking on the rear wheel in such a situation could > test this little theory.

But this cannot be the solution because I want to steer my bikes without hands and this is not possible with RWS.
