I read something in the Sun (yesterday I think) that mentioned the bikes might become property of the court, whatever that would mean.

When I've been cranking on my bars, I'm noticing a creaking as I haul-butt on both sides - could I have tightened my stem clamp too much? They're Nitto bullhorns from IRO. Not sure what else could cause the creak, should I use a rubber shim around the stem/bar contact point? It's in there without right now. The sound just concerns me.
