Annoying Clicking Sound from Front Derailer

[Physics is Phun]

ok, I figured it out. It turns out I was tightening the handle bars to the steering tube before I tightened the compression bolt. Thanks again for the link doc. you saved me. We are having a family bike trip sunday and I was getting worried I wouldn't have this fixed by then. I still have that clicking in my bearings in the front derailer part but I've had that problem for years and can live with it for the trip tomorrow.

Thanks :)

what went wrong?

i tried to change the forks and handle bars on my bike, so i removed all the parts, then found out the new forks weren't compatible. when i went to put the old folks and handle bars back on the, the long pin with the hex allen top won't tighten at the bottom. I'm sure i haven't lost any parts. its like the pin has shrunk (It has'nt).

what am i doing wrong.
any help would be great thanks

holy crap, i can't believe this thread is this old. I could've sworn that it was just this summer I posted stuff about my bike. WOW the time is flying by...
