basically, iv'e tightened my new blazer compression as tight as i can, my bars can be put out of line by putting my feet on the wheel and turning, its not like i have to really push it either, its just turns with ease, so if someone could help me out with what i'm doing that would be great! iv'e been riding threaded for two years now (just never been bothered to change to threadless really, or had the money) so this is all fairly new to me, so it might be some massive, stupid mistake iv'e made, and if so i'm sorry, but yeah, someone please help D:

and before anyone takes the mick for riding a blazer, its because i couldn't get the money together for a proto and a blazer cant be that different, can it?

Make a soda can shim, put it over your forks the your scs over the shim, then tighten it. Start on the bottom bolt, do about a half turn, and do it upwards until you can't tighten them any more.

You're using a Blazer SCS, that's the problem.
But joking aside, make sure your compression bolt is tightened down. You may need a spacer between your SCS and your Headset, Nitro forks are a bit long i believe. What deck are you using?

aha, tell me about it -_-
and yeah, iv'e tightened that thing as tight as it goes, i'm sure, and iv'e got a headset spacer, so i don't think that's the problem, and its just a razor, black label

Click to expand...

Take everything off, put the fork + headset on then put the SCS on top with or without the spacer. If the forktube passes the little lip in the middle of the SCS, Then you'll need a big enough spacer so that the fork tube won't pass the lip.

Jesus, how big is the spacer? Try adding another space or cutting down the fork a tad bit, it may help.
