If it were me, the first thing I would do is make sure the Nitto Shims are not touching each other. The nitto 25.4 to 26.0 shims are two half-circles. There's a tiny gap between them. Try to have them set up such that it is a tiny half-gap on both sides. The second thing I would do is make sure that one of those two half-gaps lines up with the gap of the stem. Then tighten everything up and see if you have quieted your issue.
If that does not quiet your issue, I would use a thin thin coat of grease between bar and shim. I would only use grease between shim and stem if everything up to that point has failed. I would not use loctite in this application. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Friday, March 18, 2016 at 10:23:54 AM UTC-7, Zed Martinez wrote: > > Just to pick the minds of y'all wonderful people.
