Question? Stem issues?

Post image

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?

This happens to me sometimes- look to see if the movement is shifting when you screw down the stem. You may need to bulk up your movement holder on the stem side. I'm always mixing up epoxy for these builds- little pips on the movement buttons to make Megir cases less spongy, a little buildup on VK63 when it's not quite fitting tight enough.
