On that stem.....
I'm using several of them on various bikes. I find they work best when you snug the back part of the lower clamp piece fully against the upper part of the stem and then just use the front to get the right tension to hold the handlebar. This will eliminate a lot of the flex and creaking you see mentioned about these stems.
