[QUOTE="Smit-Dog, post: 542878, member: 25436"] It is really an issue of lack of grease, grease getting contaminated with dirt/water, or just an improperly adjusted stem lock nut? With less than 5 miles on my bike, I took the stem apart, cleaned it, then loaded it up with the best Penzoil marine grease I could find. Seated the stem properly, without wheel, forks, etc. Spun nicely, with zero play or resistance. After only about 5 hard rides on it, I noticed quite a bit of play with the bike on a stand and the front end off the ground. Grabbing the bottom of the forks, I could rock the stem back and forth. Had to take it all apart and snug it back up. This time I snugged it a fair amount tighter than I did the previous time. No real resistance, but definately a tighter fit. Perhaps because it was a new bike, the stem/bearings had to break-in a bit, and required a few re-adjustments in the first few months? [/QUOTE]
