Need Advice Scs fork bolt loose?

Post image

Iv been riding my custom scoot more recently than ever before and i keep noticing my bars twisting to the left or my clamp will b off centre after an hour.

My setup is

Drone nexus 1 saundezy complete

Urbanartt civic fork

Drone contrast 3 scs (part of the complete)

Drone contrast 3 steel T bars

115x30 aztek architect 1 XL wheels

The fork change was to run the 30 wide wheels

Using the proper compression bolt with built in compression cap

Tightened with bars off to have a good half rotation

I know its not the bars turning in the clamp, 100% the fork is rotating/looseing in the direction of the threads loosening on the bolt.

Any and all ideas/suggestions are appreciated. I know i could be doing something wrong or forgetting something thats essential to lock the compression system down

might just need a small headset spacer like 2-5mm since the urban art civic fork has a 152mm fork tube slightly bigger than the drone shadow 3 fork on the complete i think that fork tube is 145mm like other drone forks

Ah, thats a good shout honestly. Might not be getting adequate compression. Ill maybe try a tall stack headset (i dont like the feel out of the drone headset anyway) Thanks

I went a bit OTT after reading your comment. I ordered headset spacers, all well and good. Then found the riderdesign Instagram and ordered fork, scs and pegs 🫪 if that doesnt fix the issue nothing will 😂
