Maybe Jur put the loose clamp below the problem solver,then clamped the stempost above the problem solver, adjusted the headset, clamped the clamp below the problem solver, loosened the stempost, removed the problem solver, replaced the stempost above the clamp.
That' exactly what I did.
I also introduced a suitably sized silicone O-ring under the bottom clamp. to absorb riding shocks. I found that no matter how hard I torqued the clamps down (without stripping them of course), over time the headset would relax a small amount. It's basically a lever problem and the leverage is huge, no stopping that. So I put the rubber ring and that solved the problem. It wasn't my own idea; I think I saw that in a King headset.
