ProsEasy to fit, Price, Supplied with shims, well made

Converting a 1989 Dawes tandem to straight bars, leaves you with a dilemma. It's a 1" threaded stem with a quill clamp. No way are you going to get parts to suit ... Step in this little marvel, which comes supplied with a shim for the quill, and one for the bar stem. Didn't need the quill on, but did for the stem ... Literally 5 minutes to fit.

ProsIt just works

I have an old 1980's MTB which I've resurrected into my commuter. I needed to reposition the bars, but I could not find a suitable quill type stem. This thing opened up my options it grips solidly in the steerer tube and has allowed me to choose a suitable front loading ahead type stem.

Hi,

It is possible to use a different top cap with this converter, you will still need to use the supplied bolt though.

Thanks.

Dimensions

Can you clarify the dimensions of this product. Is the max height of 90mm quoted, the distance from the min-insert line to the top of the stem? If so, the photograph does not seem consistent with this size. Thanks.

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

The dimensions for this product are incorrect, the maximum height should be 65mm.

Thanks.
