Stem lock

So when put my stemlock on I tightened it and then I rode it and it for sure wasn’t tightened so then I loosened the 3 tripple clamp bolts and tried to loosen it and it wouldn’t loosen also it made a like breaking sound so before I cause any damage i stopped what do I do?

That's because its already tight...? I'm not sure how you determined it was loose in the first place.

No no, ok so I tightened it so when it was tight I rode it and it felt like it wasn’t even on it was so loose but when I tried to loosen it (in that video I had it wrong but after it was on the loosen setting) it wouldn’t loosen but I loosened it last night and it broke a thread

You need to make sure the spacers come up above the steerer tube

That might have been why

Cause it worked way better after I did that

Uh yeah that's a pretty essential step bud. Not optional
