That's a good thought in this case - with all the mucking about I've done with stems and bar positions, I've greased the new stem but ignored the spacers. I'm pretty sure it's not this noise but it would explain another wee click that I sort of almost maybe hear when I first climb onto her and push off. I was going to check the headstem adjustment anyway (even though it feels fine) but I might go that one step further and grease all them bits and pieces.

Sheesh. You wan't to know the worst bit? It's the Europa that NEEDS a pull down and rebuild (the last one I remember was before my son was born ... and he's currently learning to drive ), and she's not getting it because I'm pfaffing about with the Jamis ... which is going to wind up with a defacto pull down and rebuild at this rate. I'd might as well redo the hubs and retrue the wheels while I'm at it just to round off the effort.

And you watch, two days after she hits the streets again ...
