Creak from stem
I’m getting creak from my stem. I can’t tell if it’s the faceplate or fork bolts. Its obnoxious climbing out of the saddle and frightening while sprinting (note – I sprint from the drops so it’s not coming from the brifters). Its an ITM stem rebranded by Colnago and a Colnago Star carbon fork. I believe the bars are ITM but don’t remember. They were sold as a set with a C40 I purchased in 2003. All four bolts are tightened to the manufacture’s specification of 6 Nm. I’ve inspected all the joint areas and can see no damage or cracking.
Anybody have an idea for making this creak go away? |
