steerering damper headset
Cane Creek is about to introduce a headset with an integrated steering damper devise intended to mitigate shimmy. They're calling it "Viscoset". So far it's only available for 1.125" steerers, because it's aimed at the E-bike and down-hill markets. Low trail randonneuring bikes seem to be predisposed to low speed, no hands, shimmy; but most of those bikes have 1" steerers. I got my hands of a few pre-release Visocets and I made my own cups to adapt them to bikes with 1" steerers. I've got one on my bike, which did have the no hands shimmy, and the shimmy is totally gone. Fingers crossed that Cane Creek makes a 1" version.
