Interesting... must be a flashback.

Although, I think riders who are new to rigid forks expect them to be much more rigid and less forgiving than they really are.

Enjoy the monocog!

Prolly the fork flexing a lil bit. Re-check QR, bolts etc just in case, but steel rigid forks do flex some.

it's probably that you're not pedaling in circles, you're just pushing down on the pedals. I've noticed the same feeling before on my full suspension w/everything locked out.

I know exactly what you're talking about. It's because you're "spun out" and spinning a super high cadence.

well you are one of the few people that I don't think would ever "be a vag" and give up, so that makes sense

It's actually a minor consequence of General Relativity. Your feet are moving faster than the rest of your body while you are pedaling, therefore time goes slightly slower for them. This minor discontinuity causes the bobbing feeling as you feet try and keep up with the reference frame of the rest of your body. Be thankful for the bobbing feeling - the alternative is your feet suddenly ripping off your body if the energy isn't dissipated.
