Er... lowering stem stopped the metallic chomping sound?
I would check steerer.
PS. Bars look rad! Also recently joined the hordes looking at cheaper Jones / H / Loop alternatives.

Shit, you reckon steerer might have suffered damage? That'd suck. Might put it apart and investigate over the weekend. There's no noise or anything weird to report in the past weeks, and I've been riding it daily. Hopefully it was just a bit of stress on the headset, or something.
I'm just annoyed with the stem adaptor setup. Keen to find a front-loading quill stem, 120mm or longer, with a bit of rise. Easy, then.

Sound very much like the stem adaptor is simply set way too high to begin with.
ough
edscoble
What I discovered, though, is that the headset was not too happy in coping with the tremendous leverage generated by a 700mm wide bar + 150mm long stem mounted so tall. Towards the end I could hear a chewing metallic sound, increasing in frequency. I lowered the stem by a few mm, and it disappeared (for now).
