I would discount user error. The design requires the pointy corner of a steel nut to dig against an aluminum shelf and I can't see how this was ever a good idea, but I've used them and torqued them lots without the design failing. Lance Armstrong's teammates nicknamed him "Centimeter" because of his incessant adjusting of bars and seatpost and that's me, I'm constantly fiddling with my riding position and my stem clamp bolt goes through easily a dozen loosening/tightening sessions..I've never had a standard Technomic do what Leah's did.
As I said a few comments up there, it's good that it's tight now with a wrench holding the nut and should be fine. As I also said much earlier, she needs a new stem! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
