[cheerfulcheeta]

so what i do is push down on my bars really hard as im tightening it to compress it. it seems to ride fine for five minutes than the top headset cup starts to jiggle around and making it very loose.

What fork are you using for your BUFFs?

By the way, make your signature smaller.

sounds like your compression nut was installed wrong so it wiggles loose...

Did you install your starnut into the bars? Like this?

 

[krtini77]

put some tape around the bottom of your cup.

you want something like duck tape.


but i think im wrong.

I tried to install my starnut but its seems impossible and it seems too big to fit in there, ive installed them before on my bike, but this ones really hard to get

 

[Madis]

Just have patience to install them. The flangs will bend a bit before it starts to go in. If you have installed a starnut on your bike, then you know the road.

Just remember, don't hit on the core of the starnut Good luck.

so wait is the starnut my solution? is there any other way to still get em to work?

Yes. Without the starnut, the bars will keep sliding.

PS! Your signature is still not small enough. Here's something you should read ---> http://www.andrewbroussard.com/comment.php?comment.news.99

that way you would destroy the core of the starnut, which may come loose from the starnut and start spinning on the flangs, so you'd never be able to attach a bolt in it.
Use a socket.

It won't destroy if your careful, i know of a couple people that did it. I think Andrew does it haha.

 

[Madis]

Don't bump people to try to install with a bolt in the starnut.
Lots of people already have managed to destroy starnuts even without having a bolt inside them.

I use the bolt but only at the very end to straighten it if it is crooked.

I just took it to my local bike shop and they did it for me so my buffs are complete
