Help me find a 1" Threadless stem.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction for a cheap 1" threadless stem ? ... having a hard time finding one..
|
I think these days you normally have to use an 1 1/8 with a shim
|
A 1 1/8 with a shim will probably provide you with more options.

I just searched 3 online stores and only aebike.com has any, and they are very short 90 degree BMX style
|
yeah, but I heard using a shim is kinda sketchy. I have about a week or two until my build is complete so I got time to search.
|
Not sketchy at all if you torque everything correctly which is good for any stem.

they come in 80-140m I used to have one and i liked it ok |
I think nitto makes one? I've seen it on ebay..
Yeah, just check ebay. |
i have a shim in my bontrager stem and im 1 inch threadless,been working fine for months now.
try a Salsa stem,i think they build custom lenghts and rise also. could be wrong though. they did back when i was working at the shop. |
Does anyone know if a 1-1/8 inch stem cap will work on a 1 inch threadless? I have the 1" stem cap and I can still see the shim. Safety wise it doesn't bother me, but asthetically it does.

Check Ebay for a Kelly stem. Someone was blowing them out a while back and I grabbed one.
|
If you want I can mail you the extra one I have at no charge. Its 1 and 1/8 just PM your info and I will mail it out tomrrow.
|
Not made anymore,live with the shim. Which reminds me,I think I'll go get a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich without the bread, it may not exist but I want one anyway.
|
^^^Stick with the shim, so you can have more choices with stems.
No need to mail one to me. They aren't that expensive. |
cinelli alters go for cheap on ebay.
