1 1/4" Threadless Options
Our triple tandem has a 1 1/4" Chris King threadless headset, and a looooooong stem that I can no longer captain. I find plenty of 90 mm adjustable stems that would do the trick, but they are all 1 1/8". I figured the solution would be simple, a 1 1/4" to 1 1/8" adapter/riser, and between that and the adjustable stem I could ride as verticle as I deemed neccesary.
Searched at least 10 pages of Google hits, and found nothing. Am I going to have to fabricate a custom stem, or is there another simple answer I am neglecting to think of? |
I have an old C'dale M700 and had the same stem problem as you. I finally gave up looking, then one day accidentally discovered that Santana Tandems makes 1.25" stems. I bought mine here, (click on "Stems" in the left margin to jump down to them):

Thanks, looks like there's plenty of options!

Looks like for the increase in height and decrease in reach I am shooting for it will have to be a shorter steeper angled 1 1/4" stem plus a 2" extender, rather than a converter/riser and an adjustable stem.
Both methods seem expensive and overly reliant on excessive clamping, but what can you do? Beats putting titanium in my cervical spine though! |
"Beats putting titanium in my cervical spine though!"
But think of all of the weight you'll save over stainless steel! |
That's why I have'nt had the surgery yet...I'm holding out for carbon fibre.
The catch is that the less hardware they put in, the more dramatic and long lasting the external fixation....like bone grafting/fusion only w/ no hardware...but a screwed into place halo! And a solid YEAR before fusion takes place if it indeed DOES! Ape hangers rule. |
