Leah When you install the bolt & triangular nut, can you post a picture of the "shelf" without any bolt or nut present?? If the shelf shows no signs of missing metal where the hex bolt contacted it, then the hole for the bolt was drilled lower than it should have been drilled. This is a possible source of the less than adequate tightening of the stem clamp
I still do not see a mechanistic explanation of why the sleeve on the bar is a source of the ticking noise. I have used a B177 (Noddle) and a B132 (radonnuer) in 225mm quill technomics without any sounds. Without an explanation, other than it happened to others, I would be weary of ruling out use of sleeved bars. John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ.
