Hi all
new to this but in need.
My husband has an old black diamond Apex mountain bike and I wish to change the stem on it for a smaller one (probs by 1inch or so). Problem being is i think it is one of the old types.. all in one. Similarly my bike a Kona Lava Dome Race light also has the same probs and requires a much smaller stem as Im only 5'2.
Any suggestions for both would be great.😕

'all in one' is called a quill stem
you can either buy a new quill stem
OR get a quill/ahead converter and use an ahead stem [this way you'll have more choice of stems]
Thanks for that. Any idea of a good converter and stem that would do the job. Think i want to keep the uptilted angle for the Diamond Back , but switch to a flat/level stem for the Kona
Cheers Sue

something like this:
and then take your pick from any of these, depending on your budget, it must be 1 & 1/8" to fit the adaptor:
Hi there,
I want to upgrade my forks to modern suspension items, the old fork steerer was threaded which is probably irrelevant as I guess this is only to attach the forks to the handle bar stem.
Basically how do I and can I adapt my bike to accept modern unthreaded steerer tubes?
I have heard of A head converters but I am confused with some descriptions I've read, will an A head converter enable me to fit modern unthreaded forks to me old bike.
Thank you
Timmy
