Hi, my threadless headset keeps coming loose, its a FSA ORBIT MX I'm running threded grit stock forks, I'm using the top lock nut from my old threaded headset and when I tighten it its all fine and dialled then I ride for like 30 mins then its loose and undialled, is there a way to make sure it tight?

Maybe if you use 2 locknuts or you could get ics as it can work well with threaded forks
I thought you had to use the compression ring? And the top lock nut is what pusshes it down to stop the wobble thing?

if you are running threaded you should take out the compression ring because the lock nut replaces that
But without it the forks don't touch the bearing so it wobbles

What are you talking about haha? Keep the headset the way it is. Use 2 locknuts, use threadlock, and make sure you push your bars all the way down once they're on. There isn't much more you can do.

Leave the compression ring in.

You need the compression ring. Hahaha, it keeps the headset from wiggling when it's tightened
and make sure your clamp is all the way down- it keeps the Locknut from backing out/up and loosening.
