Another Proto scs "issue"

[Griffiths007]

My Scs tightens like 3 turns more at the top two than it does at the bottom. Also my bars come out of line after a day of simple flat. Should I be worried about this?
Cheers

Which scs are you riding?

 

[Griffiths007]

It clearly says PROTO scs in the title. Just pointing that out...

 

[yoyoflavored]

I mean full size or baby

 

[Griffiths007]

Oh sorry! Full size mate.

 

[yoyoflavored]

Nahhhh dude its coo! Do you have the shim in for your bars/what bars and fork are you riding?

 

[Collin.]

Do you have a slit in your bars? If so cut the slit off, and it doesnt matter too much if it tightens more
, just tighten them evenly top to bottom, like a half turn at a time

 

[Griffiths007]

I have district al-1 bars. And the slit is off apart from half of the drilled hole at the top. And I know that wont bend in so it can't be that. I also tighten them evenly. It just pisses me off that i have to tighten the top bit more.

 

[Collin.]

It happens, i have to stretch my tilt scs to get my bars in, then the bottom tightens more than the top. Try getting some rough sand paper and barely roughen up the bars that sit in the scs so there's more friction?

 

[Maz.]

Is it new? It may be the headsets fault. If its coming out of line sometimes this happens with new scs's.

 

[Griffiths007]

It's fairly new. And my top cap is seriously messed up. It has grinded down part of my integrated headset cup on my district. Now it wobbles but it is still basketball dialled.
And I'll try that Collin.

its because your bars are a little smaller than the scs you have to make your own shim out of a pop can or something and it should stop.

its because the diameter of your forks is bigger than it should be so it stretches the scs out more it doesn't effect anything though but if it really bothers you just do the pop can shim thing.

 

[yoyoflavored]

i had the diameter of my fork be smaller than my scs^^^

but id shave down your topcap a lil and use a soda can shim on the bars

are your bars standard or oversized? if standard put a piece of rubber between the shim and the clamp and another between the shim asnd bars, this will make the clamp tighten harder and they shouldnt wobble out, asnd the rubber is grippy too so it holds better
