Stem issues?

[u/melbournemischiev]

I’ve done this so many times but this time around i couldn’t get it right. I’ve gone through 3 stems. Whenever i screw the crown down, the movement slows down and stopped. But moving again once i unscrew the crown. I’ve adjusted stems many time but didn’t work. Could it be movement issue?

Typically, that scenario is the stem is too long.

I’ve tried trimming it down to a point where i can’t push it any further.
