i just installed a new hermann stem on my 05 bike and was wonder if it was supposed to move back and forth in the bracket that connects 2 the frame?

I had that problem with my Lonestar when I first got it. It was like that for 2 years. Until I saw a thread that someone started that had contacted Lonestar with the problem. Come to find out they had a bad run of chrome that made the stems 2mm smaller in diameter. They sent me a new clamp for free, no questions asked. I didn't have to prove that I bought it or even that owned one. I would mic the old and new stems. If it is smaller call Lonestar. Mine is perfect ever since I received the new clamp.

If you replaced your stock stem for a aftermarket one, you might need to take the round black piece of plastic off your old stem and put it on the new one. Thats what I did for mine. It was near the top where it would get tightened down by a bracket that connects to the frame. Hope this helps.:)

Well it turns out my stem wasn't even a Laegers stem anyway. It just had a Laegers sticker on it. I called lonestar and a lady told me I was going to have to pay for the clamp. So I hung up on her, and called Dan's ext, and he hooked me up for free. If you guys want to check out the thread I bumped it up.
