headset or fork threads damaged?
tried cleaning it all up and applying loctite blue on the threads instead of grease? Dunno if thats wise or not but was considering doing it on mine as its been working loose every couple of weeks

Threads are prob gone on either the headset or the fork. Alternatively the crown race might be incorrect size, too big for fork crown which causes movement which in my experience can then lead to headset loosening off. Maybe the bearings could be the wrong size but this is prob unlikely.
I love 1” threaded headsets and when installed correctly and without issues will last for years.

1" threaded headset is constantly coming loose. No matter how its tightened up it eventually, within say a couple of days of riding, comes loose again. What's the solution here other than question why you bought a bike with a threaded headset in the 21st century?
