hey richc...
not that sticks in the mind. i'd had the stem in a vice at cranks last week, trying to dislodge it cos it's stuck in the forks, so had been forcing it a little. that's what i blame it on (not that i blame cranks!). still need to get it out somehow, so gonna take it back down when I get back from holiday.
i would be suspicious of any creaking when you're pulling on the stem tho. mine snapped when i was straining to get away from the lights.
cheers
