I did what you said. Basically I tighten them all the way like you said and by the time I'm done tightening the compression is already loose. I can't feel it moving but I can move my top cap and it rattles like crazy
But the thing is my bolt isn't coming loose. I take my bars off and I even marked the bolt position, it's not loosening. I have found some sort of solution though. If I loosen my clamp, so it wasn't as tight as before my compression seems to be tightening back up. But, not all the way.
so I have a sacrifice SCS clamp. I tighten it down pretty tight, tight enough so it won't loosen. After awhile of riding probably 20-30 min my compression is loose I can hear it rattle and I can feel the play. When I take my bars off to tighten my compression bolt. My headset is magically tight...
