Scs

So i just got my brass knuckles and a new cane creek s3 headset. For some reason after jumping down any partially large drop it comes extremely loose the headset wobbles really bad. I have all the correct pieces in the correct place.
Anyone know what the problem could be?

 

[Mark Abramsky]

fork tube bent , starnut too deep , do you have slits cuz you shouldnt, is your fork threadless

 

[ashz893scootys]

maybe ur forktubes too long

 

[ashz893scootys]

ot u didnt put ur headset in all the way to start off with

 

[CharlieMorgannn]

naah, inward zero offests threadless and i highly doubt the starnuts down to far its at the very top of my forks.

 

[ashz893scootys]

then put the starnut in further

 

[CharlieMorgannn]

alright illl try that and when you said i didnt put the headset in all the way did you mean like the cups into the headtube?
i like hit my scs down as far as it goes then tighten the compression

 

[Michael Rankin]

your fork tube may be too long. check it out

 

[ashz893scootys]

yeah hammer the cups in all the way man

 

[CharlieMorgannn]

well how is my zero offset tube too long and no one else that i ride withs isnt
cause my friend has the same setup and he doesnt have this problem.. ?

 

[Michael Rankin]

just check the fork tube and tell me if the forktube goes past the lip in the knuckle

 

[CharlieMorgannn]

nah it doesn't

 

[sbw for life]

starsnut probably is moving inside fork from over tightening

 

[Michael Rankin]

yeah. check the starnut to see if it is sliding up

 

[CharlieMorgannn]

wouldnt surprise me ahaha.
ill just hit in another starnut

 

[Michael Rankin]

yeah try that

 

[wygc3396]

if its the cups then put the headtube in a vice withe both cups on each end and tigten it until they pop in. an you might need a bearing spacer on your headset ( its better than hammering in your nut mor cause if you hammer it in to far your fucked)

If you got Frenchid V1, I know why it's getting loose. And I think all other French ID fork riders knows why.

How??....i got the french id V1 forks it is always getting loose and u said u might know y it is doing that......and i also dont have the compression ring that comes with the headsets!?

 

[Andy Mickey]

yeah i'd like to know why when you run french id v1's the headset comes loose. my brother has them and his headset is always loose. and if you are using the proto headset cap, switch it to the cap that came with your headset. when you tighten your scs the proto cap bends and bows in. they're really weak. that was my friends problem so try that.
