Just dropping in to say that greasing the expander wedge and bolt fixed the
clicking I had on a quill stem bike of mine!
It was clicking I heard when yanking on the wide bars near the ends, such
as standing up and pedalling. It’s a singlespeed, so I used to hear that
sound all the time…

You may want to slightly loosen the stem clamp bolt and drip in the T9 or
Loctitie. The loosen bolt may increase the distance between the bar and
the sleeve allowing the fluid to penetrate further. Alternatively, you
could remove the bar, turn on it's side and drip the fluid in.

Let me add a +1 for the man who makes Doom bars. I don't use one of his
bars but he very kindly did a small but critical rack modification for me
at a very reasonable price; he's here in ABQ and did the work after
Chauncey bailed on the bike brazing business.

At the risk of asking a dumb question, I take it you still hear this
clicking even if you didn't have cup/cupholder, phone/mount, etc.

else?
It does sound like some funky thing with the bar/stem interface to me...or

It’s pretty tight. I don’t know that the Loctite would really make it in there. It’s been pointed out to me in DMs that this could be a number of things, including a worn headset. I don’t know. There is one man at the shop who can fix anything. The trick is handing HIM the bike when I get there. I

Have you considered dripping some Loctite into the sleeve and letting it
dry, as one of the posters suggested. I would think Blue Loctite but you
might reach out to him to verify the color.

Oh, no way was I that thorough. I had no idea I should do all those things. I wiped all the old goop off so the stem was shiny and smeared around fresh lube and then pumped the stem up and down. I need a mentor!LeahOn Oct 2, 2024, at 1:44 PM, Ted Durant wrote:When you say you "attacked that stem
When you say you "attacked that stem with a towel and fresh lube", does
that mean you cleaned the stem, wedge, and expander bolt fully and then
greased it all, reassembled, and put back in the bike? Did you also put
some grease under the expander bolt at the top of the stem? Did you wipe

I’m very familiar with that annoying ticking! I ended up changing out my
Bosco bars because of it (didn’t bother trying to fix them because I wanted
a different bar anyway). I would consider trying to put loctite down in
there, I have heard it works. Or consider a custom Doom bar made to match

The bars definitely do wear out, but the way most Riv riders have them set
up (high bar height relative to saddle plus generally chill riding) they're
likely to last a very long time. Anytime aluminum is flexing, it’s going to
eventually fail. I ride some more extreme terrain on a couple of my bike

I thought that will or Roman mentioned this in one of the news letters - they took the stem out of the head tube and jazzed it all up and eventually found the culprit.Franco Rinaldi c: 646.403.0661 -Pardon any typos, Siri typed this message-On Sep 30, 2024, at 4:40 PM, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wr
