Cinelli 1A Stem question
Gang: I was fortunate enough to acquire a Colorado LT and built it up with SRAM Red 10 speed and some miscellaneous parts to test fit, ride etc. I began to forge ahead and grabbed a Cinelli bar and 1A stem. Where I'm having the issue is the stem will not tighten enough to keep from twisting with what I would consider only moderate force.
What I've done; confirmed 22.2 mm size of stem and ID of steerer tube, checked to make sure threads on expander bolt aren't stopping wedge from moving upward, lubed said threads. I've tightened as high as 12 nm, but still moving. I do not want to go any higher on torque for fear of damaging steerer tube (it is in good condition - not rusted/rotted, but still...) or cracking the stem itself. Anyone have thoughts on this? Anyone ever have a similar issue? I will say, I had two other stems in it that snugged up fine. In fact, I had a threadless adapter in first for test rides. I'm flustered. Thnx, GP |
