threadless stems with old school bars
Have a fantastic FSA threadless stem .
Have an equally fantastic set of sunlite northroad bars The SS bike frame and fork (hey..$40 for a factual SS/Fixed frame and fork in cro-:rolleyes:mo!)are set up with the 1/18" threadless steerer tube. The stem is 31.8 The Bars are 25.4 Someone out there make a step down adaptor or a stem for such applications? Suggestions? (Yes, I am keeping the frame and fork, yes I would very much like to use northroad style bars inverted) |
Nitto among others make shims you can place between your bars and stem. I've used them successfully to use 26.0 bars with a 31.8 stem.
|
You could prolly find some sheet metal and just cut your own for free. My bars are shimmed with some ducting.

Found Em!!!!!!!!!!!
Velo Orange makes a threadless to 25.4 stem (chrome no less!) Not the cheapest but it's made FOR the application vs cobbling togeather and..it's pretty light in weight as well. Color me happy :oD |

Many, many (many, many) threadless stems have a 25.4 clamp. They also commonly come in 26.0.
All 31.8 stems (probably) are threadless; not all threadless stems are 31.8. |
It's likely that your LBS will have a shim (Nitto or not) for three or four dollars.

I have 2 or 3 silver threadless stem that are 25.4 in my parts bin. PM me if you are interested.
