Supersix headset woes!

[burglarboycie]

Hi all
My new Supersix arrived on Wednesday. It came with the usual huge conical spacer so ordered the Cannondale 5mm headset cover. It arrived this morning so fitted it and cut the steerer accordingly but now the headset won't tighten to remove play! Has anyone else had this issue? Does the smaller spacer require the use of micro spacers beneath it?
I've not cut it too short or anything silly like that but just cannot see that it could be anything but micro spacers
Any help is massively appreciated as I'm desperate to ride it!!!

The photo is not showing anything other than the fork has been cut 2-3mm below the top of stem, per Cannondale spec.

Perhaps you are not installing the compression plug tightly enough. Make sure it is in the correct location and tight, and try again.

I just showed that photo to prove I hadn't cut the steerer too short really. I have since sorted the issue, it was rider stupidity!!!!!
Thanks

If you have this one http://www.cannondaleexperts.com/Cannondale-Evo-SI-Expanding-Compression-WedgeTop-Cap-for-Carbon-Steerer-Tubes--KP017_p_106.html or similar, the lower grey part expanding is maybe be too high now inside the fork.

You can remove the top black part to see if it's the case, it's screwed on the expander. If the expander is too high you can't tighten it enough .

Thanks guys, I sorted it seconds after I posted the original message as I realised I was being stupid all along!!!
