threaded headsets?
Hey guys,
Super noob here and I need some assistance. I just purchased a Nitto Pearl Quill Stem for my Kilo TT. My Kilo came stock with a threadless stem.... but do I need to purchase a new threaded headset to install the quill stem? If so, any recommendations? Thanks for the help! |
you need to get your fork threaded or get a new fork to use with a threaded headset.
|
Not only do you need a new headset but you also need a new fork to use the stem.
Something like this should work. |
darn.... aite. thanks guys.

sorry guys... last question. on this guy's bike (link below), he has a nitto jaguar threaded quil stem, but he's running on a stock threadless fork w/ a headset. Anyway I can do that as well?

Try to see if you can even fit your stem inside your fork steerer; you'll need a new fork if it doesn't go in smoothly.
If it does go in smoothly, you could have a shop thread the fork for you but they usually charge a lot and some might not even do it because of liability issues. |

http://www.pedalroom.com/bike/superbe-kilo-tt-1356 You made a mistake in buying that quill stem. Return it for credit or sell it, and try to make this a learning experience. |
Aite, thanks for the advice and info. much appreciated.
