I did another 10 mile loop again last night and no ticking/creaking or anything. While I was out, I got an email from Soma saying they forwarded my email (which had videos that I hope show the situation) to Nitto and they hope to hear back this weekend. I’m glad Nitto will know about it; stems and bars are rather important parts of a bike.
As far as the aluminum Bosco (I think someone asked me about it), yes, it is noticeably lighter than the cromo bar. However, I’m not sure I like it better. I can feel a little flex I don’t remember on the cromo and also I think I feel bumps through it. So, not sure the weight savings was worth it. But I do LOVE the 52 vs the 55. That was a huge, huge improvement. I think I’ll do 52 cromo Boscos on my upcoming Platypus.
