I do same as with bicycle headset.

I set adjustable cup for no wiggle. As tested by grabbing fork-blades near sliders and wiggling up and down.

Then I install lock-ring. BUT i don't tighten lockring down on top of adjustable cup. I use two hook-ring tools and LOOSEN adjustable cup up while I tighten lockring down. This has effect of maintaining original adjustment.
