I've thought about that, got a quill adapter already. Been holding out for some numbers on what "very short" means. MTB DH stuff seems to end at 60 mm. BMX stems seems shorter, but don't publish numbers.
I've managed to source a couple of 40-50 mm quill stems w/ faceplate, which is a neater option - unless the adapter+ threadless end up shorter.
