Put a quill adapter post in, because I didn't want to go through the
trouble of changing forks. I put the 1 1/8 stem on it, and it feels solid
as a rock. But on threadless stems, you have a cap on top. With this
adapter, you don't, because it doesn't tighten the headset, etc. Question
is, does the cap have anything to do with a threadless stem besides that?
And is this a reliable setup? It looks kind of weird, but it's on a
commuter bike, so appearance wasn't a main priority. The post is 1 inch at
the bottom, and 1 1/8 inch at the top. It's heavy too.
