So, I took most of the advice here so far. Including that I swapped back to the Tall Boy stem after using some T9 at the stem/bar interface. I used a wrench to ensure the bolt was truly tight and I rode around the neighborhood. All is silent.
I’m still concerned about the safety of the stem because John and Joe both consider my stem suspect. I also know Nitto has issues now and then with QC. John - I’d do that visual inspection and even send you the photos/video but now that I’ve got everything set up again I’m leaving it. I hope it’s not dangerous. Kind of the worst thing to go on your bike, you know? *Shudder.* Sent from my iPad > On Jun 17, 2020, at 12:31 PM, Joe Bernard <joerem...@gmail.com> wrote: > > In this case the noise is definitely at the clamp, I saw a video where she > loosened the clamp enough to move the bars up and down and the creak turned > DEAFENING.
