My Sequence stem is pretty much the best stem ive ridden. Slipped once or twice when i first got it but once i tightened it down properly its never slipped.

Nice!
How about when you need to tighten your fork stem bolt down, you gotta undo both bolts right? Isn't that a bit of a pain having to adjust the handlebar again.

This shouldn't be a problem. When I first installed my Hook I didn't tighten the compression bolt enough on my fork so I had to loosen the bolts and give it another go. I found that you do not need to loosen the bolts all the way in order to tighten up your headset and such. My bars didn't move at all when I did this.

Well.... usually you tighten your compression bolt down 1st, adjust the bars etc etc. I havent had any problem with anything coming loose.

That's exactly what I meant. I tightened the compression bolt first, then the stem bolts...to much play in headset, loosen stem bolts slightly, tighten compression bolt with out bars moving, tighten stem bolts.

I'll chime in on a 2 bolt "stem": the sequence 6th bars. Mine haven't slipped since the first session when I was still figuring out the proper tension
