Ha, I thought it was just me that ran into these types of issues. You guys always make it look so easy in these videos.

you learn and its entertaining, love these vids.

extremely unique tutorial showing the common issues you may encounter. usually the tap on the bolt frees up quill stems but its cool to see a pro deal with the worst issues consumers may encounter

Great delivery today ! Well timed and nice to see a more realistic real world example

Thanks Calvin. Your most emotional tutorial. You're the best.

This is fantastic! I've got one of these converters to put drop bars onto an old steel MTB frame so I've just been watching a bunch of videos on how to use them. Yours is the only video that showed you using spacers like that, which is what I want to do. Thank you so much!

Been looking at a Soma Rush and researching the quill conversion as the Soma fork is 1inch. The hide the converter with stack washers is a good tip!

This is precisely what I’ll be doing to my ‘94 Kona Cindercone (bought from eBay 3yrs ago), the flat 130mm stem will be replaced by a 90mm aheadset MTB riser stem onto a 1 1/8” quill adaptor. I bought the DC-1 caliper because I needed to understand the inside & outside diameters of stem and steerer. 👍

Great video!

Nice video, good explain 👌🏼

Exactly what I'm gonna do in a few days.

Looking at doing this to my one Bridgestone. Have the adapter coming. Know the handlebars I’m getting. Just haven’t figured out the stem leangth and angle yet.

Thanks sir jim croce

Some people use adapters for conversion just like in this video. Others swap the bearings from caged to sealed. What are the pros and cons of either process? How do I choose? I have a vintage bike (1" or 22.2mm diameter) and would like to swap to a modern ahead stem. How do I know which upgrade process is right for me? Many thanks in advance.

Addendum Method B (for when the stem quill is REALLY stuck): remove stem bolt, plug stem bolt-head hole with a cut-down cork or rubber plug. Turn bike upside down in the stand (or on the floor, in the corner). Put some newspaper or cardboard under the head tube. Pour as much Coca-Cola (original, not Diet, nor any of the fancy recent deviants) as will fill the steerer tube, maybe to an inch below the bottom of the fork crown. Leave it overnight, or as long as you can spare. Gently pour it out (save it if you want to use it again) by rotating the bike. Put a trash nutted wheel in the forks. Apply force as per Calvin: with luck, the Phosphoric Acid in the Coke will have eaten away at the corrosion bond between stem and steerer enough for you to break it as per Calvin. You can use vinegar (as strong as possible: 8% pickling vinegar is great) as the Acetic Acid does pretty much the same thing, except your workshop will smell like fish and chips for days. Cheers, from Mark In Oz.

How about an out takes video. Calvin and Truman look like they have a lot of fun

Nice. I still haven't come arkund to the conversion. I keep paying a king's ransom for 1" threaded carbon forks or doing back alley deals for them.

What a stud

Reality funny and interesting good job

Pulling up those bars I was so not looking forward to the moment it released and Calvin smacked himself in the chin. Me and chainsets have history.

I love to see the trekking bars. I’ve changed to them 6 months ago and put on over 1000 Kms. I ride all terrain so trekking bars give me great control upright and still able to go down aero for pavement riding. Why aren’t these more popular in the states?

Looks good. But with the rust you found, I would think the headset bearings would need some attention. That would have been easiest to check while the stem was out.

We see you Calvin

on my bike the quill stem was rusted on very badly and i just sprayed some wd40 on there and hit the handlebars with a rubber mallet with some force and it came off so easily 👍

Had this kind of setupon my cheap BMX 10 years back

I missed the tech Tuesday

So this hack to use spacers for the look, it doesn't work properly. As you said the bottom portion of the adapter is not 1" but the inside of a 1" steerer tube. So even if you apply pressure throught he new a-head steam from above, the spaces have horizontal movement because they are way too big.

I LIKE THIS GUY.....HE IS COOL 😎👍🤣

A threadless system means replacing the old threaded fork with one that is threadless. Check out Innicycle for a really nice threaded-to-threadless conversion set. It’s pricey and involves replacing the old headset cups too, but it’s a very slick piece of engineering and the best way to keep your threaded fork (big for vintage restomods/aesthetics).

What size is the ball bearing shimano r540

Love it when I see Calvin get stucked haha

Can I used 22.2 stem adapter size to a 25.4 inner size of the fork, because I am not sure to the exact size of my MTB fork? That is why I am planning to buy 22.2 stem adapter

When you do this conversion, can you use a different top cap? My sons bike has the quill type and he wants a custom cap like mine.

@parktool

Жыл бұрын

You could probably make it happen if you drilled the cap for the adaptors bolt. The bolt on the adaptor is very similar/ the same as the quill stems bolt. You could remove the existing cap and size a custom one. Long story short the custom cap will not be a direct fit.

one of the better ones! except those ugly handlebars

Hey calvin! I measured the outer diameter of my quill stem and it is 21.9 mm. Will an adapter of 22.2 do the job? I'm pretty confused about sizes!!

Bike can be confusing with so many standards. Is this an older French bike? There is old French 22.0mm standard. It is also simply a poorly made stem in the 22.2mm standard. If it is not an old French bike, it is likely the 22.2mm standard.

Not recommended. The stem would be clamping on the fork where it is threaded, which is a series of cuts in the steel. It would be weaker in this area as you stress the fork side to side by riding. Failure will eventually occur.

They were introduced in the early/mid 70's, and the purpose was to make things safer but, like many poorly-understood safety designs, actually made things less safe (people relied on being able to brake from the top of the bars but, unless the brakes were set up very carefully, and kept very well adjusted, people found that the safety levers bottomed out on the bars long before enough braking force was being applied).
