This will eliminate a lot of the flex and creaking you see mentioned about these stems.
Weird, we had never heard or experienced this problem but I will have Adam redo it to these specs for safety sake. Thanks for the heads up. I wish it wasn’t so ugly, but it got the bike on the road and now it is stuck on there cuz I’m not redoing the tape!
