Proto SCS and Fsa headsset always come loose

[ScooterWisconsin]

Ok so I have a reventon with an fsa headset and a proto scs. I'm running a scorcher fork which means I need a headset spacer. I dont have one right now so I put a circular piece of aluminum I found their and looks like it works fine. After riding for an hour or so it is really loose and can wiggle back and forth. I have that white locktite tape stuff on my screw that goes into my starnut. why does it always come loose????? Should I cut my fork down instead of using a spacer??? Thanks if anyone could help I really need it.

cut it down, AND use a spacer.

how will that help?

Use a 10mm spacer and it will be fine, you don't need to cut your fork down

10mm spacer is bigger than the one you, calm down i'm trying to help, if you have a spacer it sits the compression higher up because the fork is longer and it allows the compression to clamp down correctly, go to a bike shop and ask if they have 10mm headset spacers, buy one or two or whatever and it should work

I have the same exact setup use a washer on top of compression cap about half the diameter of your cap it will distribute the compression evenly
