I have removed and greased all bolts, but it is still creaking! Has anyone else had this issue?
I have one and so far (2 months) silent.
Yes copper grease sorted it.
On every part of it.
Thank you shep, I will try greasing where the two plates meet.cheese - smug git! 😉
Mate of mine sheared the bolt heads off the two underside bolts the other day. Mine never stayed tight enough to stop the bars from twisting if you hit a turn with enough force.
Lovely looking British made kit that's not quite as good as you'd like it to be.
Ohhh now there's a theme!
Hmmn, my Hope one never creaked or sheared, why did I bother?!
I had one for a while.couldn't get it to stop creaking for more than a ride.
I solved the problem by selling it and buying an Easton havoc.
Stems are expensive – are they the least value component £ for £ when comparing all high end kit?
Yes mine creaked. I found that one of the bolts underneath had disappeared and thought replacing that would sort it but it didn't. So I sold it and got a Thomson instead 🙂
Not really the answer I was looking for, ear plugs it is then. 🙁
mine took loads of grease to make it stop creaking. not good as it was hard to not get grease on the bars and steerer. maybe fibre grip would be best.
