Interesting observation on squealing v-brakes

My v-brakes had never squealed before this morning. Yesterday I swapped out the stem for a shorter one and after I noticed the squeal, I realized that my headset is very slightly loose. Haven't tightened it back up yet, but I bet that is the cause. Just enough vibration to cause it.

Might help others out there.
