Threaded to Threadless adapter?
Anyone have any experience with these? (Link) I'm thinking of getting one since there seem to be many more openface threadless stems then openface quill stems.
thanks
thanks

You might be able to find one cheaper than $11 plus $9 shipping.
I use one and it works great. You can put threadless headset spacers on them to improve the look.

yup.. used one for a bit, was successful in bridging the gap between handlebars and bike.
the thing is, I feel like it has negative characteristics from both types of stems.... doesnt look as good as a quill stem, not as stiff as threadless, as heavy as both put together.. etc

Nitto makes a very nice one, shame it's mostly covered up when in use.

Glad i came across this thread. I almost picked up one of these earlier this week to put a cinelli alter stem on bike. I just assumed they were junk cause i'd never heard a word spoken about them.

newbie question. Do I need a threadless headset to use this? Basically I want to get a threadless stem to use with my stock threaded headset and fork.

no, matic, this thing goes into your threaded headset so you can hook up a threadless style stem to it.
so, basically, this is what (all) you need to do what you're saying. good luck.

So I have a really rad track fork I want to put on my gf bike. The thing is she is riding a 51cm frame and the fork is for a 46 cm frame.
Could I get this adapter, use a 1 inch threadless headset, no spacers and a 1 inch threadless stem?
Basically I want to use this adapter as more of a steer tube extender. Anyone see this done or done it themselves?

hello
I'm pretty sure they make 1" converters as well....for 1" threadless stems.
In fact, aren't most converters designed for 1" stems and you have to use a shim if using a 1 & 1/8" stem...?

you know i have always wanted to say that, but yes alot of the adapters are 1 inch and come with a shim. check nashbars site for an example. i have a 1 inch stem adapter with a 1-1/8 stem with a shim tucked in there. all together it bolted up tighter than a virgin on prom night
