trials hoe Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 right so i have some sport risers (with a trailtech stem) on my effect and they make what i can only describe as a 'ticking' noise, mostly when just riding along like when i roll off a curb the'll do it, and then again when i pull up the front end. i've cleaned them and my stem where they contact each other and it'll stop for a bit then it'll start again, this isnt just limmited to my bars my mates high risers do it too (on a rockman stem i think). has anybody else had this problem? if you have what did you do to stop it? chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I would check the bolts in the stem are greased, the right torque and done up evenly. And check for cracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Grease and tighten the headset, should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
