MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
Anyone used a quill to a-head adaptor?
Do they work?
Will it make my 1970s Holdsworth look irreedmably naff?
Cheers
Yes.
Yes, no actual problems although I suspected mine of being the source of a slight creak when honking out of the saddle.
Yes, inevitably. Don't do it. The problem is that your stem is heftier than the top of the headset, so there's a bit of a gap. This looks grim.
Cheers, chap. Appreciated, as always.
I shall seek out suitably sized 26mm stems. Got any good places to look (not starting with ebay)?
Been there done that.
Looks naff.
Just pick the right quill stem..

Cheers, Jerome.
You and BD have saved me from myself. I thank you both. 🙂
Got to be a Nitto from HubJub. 🙂

I should have added - n/w/standing my ebay comment - that the build needs to come in under £200, and £100 has already been allocated to some shiny new wheels.
Hubjub doesn't usually resonate with "cheap" IME..! 🙂
Ditto - works fine but looks a bit crap.
Put a WTD up.
Every proper biker has at least half a dozen quill road quill stems kicking about.
J.
yes
yes
No or yes depends on your taste, but lets face it. If it's a road bike who cares. It will look NAFF anyway
Cheeerrrriiiioooo
juan - you are mental sometimes. It's a classic(ish) road bike, and thus a thing of a certain beauty.
Right, now to work out what size stem I need....
I managed to find a nice 3T quill stem for my steel Thorn. I think it was from Ribble. I would imagine that any roadie LBS would still have a few knocking around.
Cheers both - spesh the link to Velosolo.
I feel a pair of kid sister's jeans coming on....
😉
I have a 125mm Syncros quill if you want it - old-school style. Your's for £15 posted if you want it?
Put up the size you are after, I think a couple are kicking about here, and I am sure there will be stacks on/via the forum
