My handlebar gets loose every ride and the last time it happened I did an endo down a hill. What the f*#k! Lately I've been hearing little cracking, squeeking kinda sound and I don't really no where its coming from. Maybe I need a tune up? I have an FSA FR200 stem and just bought the Easton EA Monkey handlebar. I have a marin wolf ridge that I've been doing some light freeride and downhills. Is this set up ok for that type of riding, and whats up with the noises? HELP!

If your handlebars and/or stem is coming loose, and you're not sure how tight to go with them, you should probably take your rig to your local bike shop. Even if they charge you, I guarantee it'll be cheaper than the impending dental work.

Good luck and be safe.
