Easton 1 1/8 carbon fork with aluminum steer tube
Easton road stem
Azonic risers
Aheadset
Any ideas? NAES
is ur stem carbon?? if so tacx carbon paste on the threads
if not, take everythign apart and clean the crap out of everything... like ud eat off of it. then lightly grease all ur threads, and torque everyth evenly.
make sure ur steer tube and bar clamp area are not ovalized as well from overtightening.
