Stem: How do I ?

<< < (3/3)

SaMAlex:
You can get a shafted "converter stub" that wedges into a threaded fork like normal, but there isnt any head to it. you can then clamp on any A-head stem you like. You might not get a cool looking one like the ones you pictured, but its another option.

Yes my first MTB was a 93 Kona Lava Dome & this had a 1 1/4 threaded forks & a 1 1/4 quil stem so they do make them, but you may have to hunt a while to get one.

why thankyou very much for the complement!

what sort of year we talking about? i first started work in a bike shop in the summer of 96. i remember the canondales using 1 1/4. they probably still do! i know some downhill companies use 1 1/4 now but most are 1 1/8. we were only just heading into the realm of the clamp on stem so it must be around thenish. a guess at 93/94 maybe? educate me alex!

SaMAlex:
yah, the whole of the 90s were just a blur to me. I cant tell you the dates!  :LolLolLolLol:
