Damon W Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) Tother day i was out when i noticed that everytime i pull up on the bars something creaks like fook, and when i land is this normal for zoo bars to creak this much i changed my bars and the new ones creak less, but still creak, could it be my stem?annoying fooking whatever it is!!

poopipe Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 mine creak a little bit too - nothing unpleasant has happened to me yet and it's about 3 - 4 months since I got them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Mine never used to do it, until I loosened off one of the bar clam nuts, and it started doing it (Tryall bar and stem). I nipped them up EQUALLY and it went away.Or, as suggested, put a bit of grease on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Mine creaked too, i just take it apart now and then and clean it out. I usually find grit and crap in there which i think causes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 check for cracked stems people nah, no visible cracks - I reckon it's the silky finish on the zoo bars that does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxTrialSpaz Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Tighten up the clamps on the bars, the chances are they're a bit loose and that's what's casuing the creak (the bars moving) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houseface Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Put a little bit of grease between the stem clamp and the handlebars.surely putting a bit of grease between them will make them slip round like a bihatch? steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Geary Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 surely putting a bit of grease between them will make them slip round like a bihatch? steve.Not if you put a slight bit of grease on and make sure it's tight, obviously it's not going to slip all over the place is it.
