Aluminium Mountain Bike Stem

One other question. Did you use helicoils in the threads?
 
No, I cut them with a tap. I figured I'd use a helicoil if it felt like the tapped thread didn't seem up to the job, but it felt pretty solid when I tightened it up.
 
They should be fine if you have them set and don't have to adjust all the time. The stem looks great mounted on the bike by the way!

What bike do you ride?
 
I always use anti seize compound when using threaded fasteners in aluminum to minimize galling.
