Im not really sure but the answer is probably too low of quality AL. Why not use that airplane grade AL that some of the better frames are made out of ? Im thinking Colnago Dream bikes. Ofcourse I did not use a torque wrench but I dont think that I was going too tight, I have hand tightened most all (not CF) over of the decades.
