One thing to remember though, is the way that part works - tighten the bolt and it basically pushes the stem away from that bottom part (don't know what it's called) so there is tension in the head tube, right?
That seems backwards. I thought that as the wedge was pulled up, the slant cut bottom allowed the stem to become wider that the forks tube, so it wedged itself in.
