So when i turn my bars the spacers don’t turn with them.
I haven’t done anything to the stem and never have taken it apart but some day the spacers just started to not turn with the handlebars.
It doesn’t matter how tight the headset is
Anyone know the cause?

Why does it matter?
that’s an issue. the dustcover should rotate with the rest of the spacers
the dustcover sits too low or the paint is too thick or there is debris between the dustcover and the frame. to move the dustcover upwards you need to add headset shims/spacers (like FSA 160-3021). to remove debris you need to remove the stem and clean.
the theory is explained [here](https://canecreekhelp.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/62000211243-how-and-when-to-use-shim-spacers-for-headsets).
if the bike is new then that is an issue that is worth contacting canyon for. if that is something that developed it could just be debris but it could also be that something is wrong with the compression ring or seat of the bearing.
