Fitted new bars (Easton) and torqued them correctly, but when I put a fair bit of weight on the hoods the bars rotate slightly. Using a Thomson X2 stem, which was fine with old bars.
Don't want to go much beyond proper torque settings. What to do?
Using a Thomson X2 stem
Are you using assembly paste?
But the best solution is to bin the stem.
My X2 did the same, now I rock an X4
