threadless stem adapter question
I have a specialized stem and fsa bars that I got practically for free that I want to put on a bike with a quill stem. The way I was thinking about doing it is not even using the locknut and just putting on the threaded top race, a spacer that will cover the threads and then the adapter with the stem on it to hold the spacer in place and keep the threaded race from backing off. I just think it will make the bike look cleaner, but is it a bad idea, or will I look like an idiot? lol.
I can take a picture if I didnt explain it well enough.
