[RBW] Swapping Bars Threaded Stems
Friends, today I found out that my neck officially has some vertebral problems, and I think I'm gonna need to swap out my mustache bars on a few bikes (argh!) so I can have a more upright position. I have an old mountain bike that has Alba's on it. That's my fisrt project: steal them and install them on the protobleriot. BUT the alba bars (all nicely taped and shellacked, etc) are on a threadless mountain bike stem. I could easily take the front plate off the the stem and move it oh-so-easy but I need a threaded stem with a face plate (I hope I am using the right terms here so that I am explaining clearly...). I found a cheap ugly Nashbar http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_10053_10052_174788_-1___ Is there another more elegant quill solution that has a front plate on it? Or should I just bite it and disassemble and unwind the tape and get out the goo-gone and...and...and...do the whole mess? I wait with bated breath for your collective wisdom! your friend, Liesl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Another option though not elegant would be a threadless stem adapter which would allow you to use a threadless stem on your threaded bike.

Too bad, Liesl -- hope that you can continue the miles with higher bars.
