Loose Direct Connect Stem
#3
Thank you for the quick reply, But I believe that the stem and the fork tube are compatible, and most likely original. I don't have a torque wench but I've got the bolts tightened up to where if I go much more I think I could cause damage.

I have another bike, with the same type direct connect stem and those bolts don't have to be as tight to stop the slipping.

Just wondering is there something else that I need to do?
