So I wonder, is that extension attached to the original steerer tube by just the threads? That seems like a less reliable connection than a threadless stem adapter.
I looked at the installation video and it has both the threads that engage into the steerer and a wedge. So, it should be a pretty good connection. But is it worth $125? Perhaps, if you want to go with a threadless stem. For my bikes, but I'm content with my quill stems.
You know, dance with the one that you brought to the dance. I think if I really wanted a threadless steerer tube, I'd get a bike that started out with one. Or change the fork, if that is even an option.
