  1. Greetings: Someone out there (other than Performance / Topo)
    must be making an adapter that would adapt from 22.2 mm
    quill stem to a threadless (1-
    1/8"?) threadless type stem. I have been to a bunch of
    websites and I am surprised that none of the "big Name"
    stem manufacturers make this item. Any suggestions?

    Also, I have encountered claims of interchangeability
    between 22.2 mm stems and 1 inch stems. According to my
    scale, 1 inch = 25.4 mm (not
    1.1). I'll take a guess: Maybe "1 inch" tubing refers to the
    O.D and would have and ID of 22.2 mm? But that is only a
    guess. Please educate me . . . . Thanks, Rick

    The 22.2mm refers to the diameter of the quill, the part
    that inserts into the steer tube, not the size of the
    stem itself.

    Profile, Zoom and Nitto all make adapters that will allow
    you to use a 1" or 1-1/8" threadless stem on a threaded
    fork. They're called stem column adapters.

    A stem for a threaded 1" steerer is 22.2mm in
    diameter, or 7/8".

    A stem for a threaded 1 1/8" steerer is 25.4mm in
    diameter, or 1".

    Yes, this does cause confusion, particularly on eBay where
    some of the sellers are insufficiently exact about what
    they're selling...and may be clueless in their answers to
    questions about the item.

  7. Performance used to sell one. It is a cylinder that fits
    into the headtube that gets wider at the top, to 1 1/8. Is
    that what you are looking for? If this is it, I think that I
    have one at home. I'm out of town. Send me an email tomorrow
    and I'll check.
