milkbaby: Maybe "pretty tight" is not tight enough. If you are using a multi-tool or the short end of an "L" wrench you might not be getting it properly torqued. Are the clamp bolt threads greased and the clamp and steerer surfaces clean? Is the gap in the stem open, so that the bolts are clamping the stem to the steerer and not just squeezing the "ears" together?
