[RBW] Sources for decent-looking silver 1 threadless stems

2012-04-09 Thread Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery
Most 1-1/8 stems come with a shim. There are few, if any, 1 stems on the 
market, but I haven't done an exhaustive search. 1 stuff, threaded or 
threadless, is getting more and more oddball every year, as almost nobody 
(except Riv) makes bikes with 1 steerers now. The stem and headset 
manufacturers don't generally divert their resources into making aftermarket 
parts for older bikes. Heck, even 1-1/8 threadless, as we know it, is becoming 
somewhat outdated in a world of tapered steerers and integrated headset cups, 
but the simple-ness and versatility of good old 1-1/8 threadless would seem to 
keep it in widespread production for many years to come.

2012-04-08 Thread Forrest
Where have Roadeo owners with the threadless fork sourced decent-looking 
(not black) 1 stems? Or just get a 1 1/8 and a shim? Thanks.

Velo Orange has quite a collection in silver; all 1 1/8 but they do
sell a shim and they are very reasonably priced.
