Re: [RBW] messing around with my Hunqapillar
They're all threadless... that's the one I mentioned I like. Discussed using one of those with a quill to threadless Nitto adapter. A good option if you want a stem w/ an open fact, but still a bit of a hack. On 8/23/13, Patrick Moore bertin...@gmail.com wrote: Cyclotourist (Dave? Jim? Tony?

[RBW] messing around with my Hunqapillar
I think that the vo or nitto adapter with suitable stem would look nicer than an open face quill stem. Also, it would give you more options in stem choices should you need to change that out. I'm not against threadless so I'm not bothered at all by that look. The vo page shows a look I'd find suitable on most any of my bikes.

Thanks--I forgot that Nitto makes one. I like Nitto stuff-who doesn't?!
