Stem and shimms
 
Can I use any threadless 1 1/8 diameter stem (with shimm) on 1.0 fork? When browsing online catalogs
I noticed some stems are sold with 1.0 shims and some without.New Ritchey WSC is "for 1 1/8 steerer dia only".I'm replacing my 1 inch threaded fork with threadless.
thank you :)

I'd take Ritchey at it's word if I were going to install their stem on a 1" carbon steerer.

If you have a Cr-Mo or Al steerer on your new fork, the shim should be perfectly fine to use.

I have fork with aluminum steerer tube so looks like shim will work.Thank you for your help,it is all new to me.Changing stem used to be much easier, who killed quill stem ?:rolleyes:
thanks:)
