I'll replace it with a cleaner stem adapter down the line, but you know what they say.... function >>> form.
Please excuse the low-quality picture. Had to make-do with the phone camera for this one.
I can't say that I've ever seen a quill adaptor that has a clamping surface that tall? What brand is it? I am in Houston also, and have an adaptor where the clamping surface is the size of the stem? The bottom part works like a normal quill stem, so if you lower it all the way it looks like a threadless headset almost. In other words, nothing sticks up above the stem no matter what height it sits.,,,,BD
Looks sort of like this, but not much taper below the stem, so it it fits flat down against the headset. Mine is a 22.2mm though? Is the bike a 25.4 quill?
