Aside from BBDD's stem issue, a number have noted that the sleeved bars sometimes creak. I would expect that the sleeve is inflexible when clamped properly in the stem. The bars flex quite a bit, and the flexing may deform the inner bar a tiny bit at the ends of the sleeve and cause the creak.
A similar effect might be expected between the stem clamp and bars for non-sleeved bars, but in that case tightening the clamp would reduce the deformation. -- Carl On June 23, 2020 6:04:56 PM PDT, Joe Bernard <joerem...@gmail.com> wrote: >The stem worked fine on her steel bar, I don't know if it has that burr >mark on it and I think it's long gone now.
