i did, i loosened the inside bolt and took it out, i think my fork is defective, cuz it has a few problems with it, its a zero offset

Maybe it's your fork thats tight on the scs? Grease the forktube, idk? lol i heard they're tight on scs's.

Your SCS will be tight on the fork, it's meant to be. Just open the SCS up a tad by either lightly tapping a chisel/screw driver into the slit a little or doing the coin trick as it's comonly known.

i took it to the bikeshop to get my headset on and the guy sed my fork was defective, so its just my fork thats screwed

theres no way your fork can be "defective" thats impossible, your forktube might be bent, but scs are suppose to fit tight on forks, just have someone that actually knows how to work a scs do it for you

haha a bike shop told you that, i dont trust them but thankfully i know better. all threadless forks are tiny bit bigger because its not easy getting the right tubing for them. but yeah as stuckwon-do said, stretch the clamp so it comes out and then get back to us.

it is, like underneath the headset the forks bent, so it doesnt spin properly
