[Handlebars Creaking]

Hey all,

Im usually pretty clued up on these things but this one has me stumped.

I have Inspired Arcade handlebars as fitted stock to my 2020 Hex. I have recently been having issues with a clicking sound coming from the handlebars and can often feel it when riding. I had this issue on my old Hex and solved it by thoroughly cleaning the stem faces and handlebar, applying teflon grease to the bolts then a small amount on the stem faces and then equally torquing bolts up to 5/6nm.

I tried the same trick with my new bike and hasn't solved it. I opted to try carbon gripper paste on the handlebar clamp and again carefully equally torquing to 5nm. Still no improvement. There is no movement from the bars as far as I can see, no cracks or stress marks. I've certainly never heard of Inspired handlebars snapping either so I'm pretty confident they are structurally sound. I can flex the bars slightly and get a little click same as I get when riding. Anything to be concerned with?

Any advice on what to do next would be appreciated!

I've seen a couple of inspired bars snap right next to where the stem clamps the bars. Could have possibly been from over tightening the stem though

Would be good to hang out when i get back, I'm actually in Bucharest, Romania at the moment. Hope it stops shedding soon - I'm sweeping up every day. I'm actually enjoying riding inside a lot, I can literally stop work and be on my bike in 20 secs which means I'm able to ride a lot. 

Have you tried side hopping the coffee table yet ?

Think the riding was decent but the edit didn’t do it justice. When I saw a big TGS title I was like “yesss” and kind of expecting a more aggressive feel to the video. You suit that ozonys!

Personally I think riding videos should be judged on the actual riding in it and not the editing but thanks anyway

realised that my old phone was automatically backing up my photos and videos to my google account so I put this edit together. hope you enjoy it  

 

 

 

 

[Custom painted spitfire trials bike]

 Here is a few pictures of my breath tommorow which I recently had custom spray painted by one on my good friends. This paint job cost me £300 which I think is very reasonable considering it had nearly 30 hrs spent on it. Let me know what you think of it. If you are interested in wanting your bike sprayed get in touch with him. This is his instagram page: https://instagram.com/michaelgillett46?igshid=1neitno33bh4m
