ProsWell made, simple and effective design.

The previous very good reviews are deserved. Great problem solver, well made, simple and effective design. Allows bars to be raised as high as most people would ever want. Put a 10mm spacer on top before fitting the stem (not necessary but looks nicer!) and the bars can go even higher.

The best!

ProsFit, finish and length.

This adapter post is the best I've seen! The manufacture and machining is second to none for fit, finish and looks. Useable length into the bargain! Well done SJS!

Great product

ProsEasy to fit

Just needed to convert a smaller frame to ahead to raise the bars as I am getting old. I wanted a silver one too.

ProsAs above

Really recommended. Seems strong and is smart. Well finished product. A nice length as well, reassuring to know it's secure inside the fork.

ProsEasy to fit

I bought this and a shorter, elevated stem as the original quill fitting was giving me neck-ache. Looks well made, easier to fit overall than the previous quill, and works well. It leaves 1/2” of post above the stem clamp, which looks a bit odd. Does the job well.

Very useful

ProsPrice, well made, looks good.

Bought to raise the height of the handlebars to suit my ageing body! Allows the use of an aheadset stem. Have experienced a few creaks and squeaks, but I'm also using it with a shim on a 1x1/8th fork so that may not help. Not the lightest piece of kit, but seems well made. A much better option than buying a complete new fork to achieve a relativeley minor change.

ProsWell finished, strong and long

Used to adapt oversize 31.8 stem and bars to threaded 1inch headset. Looks and works well though had to refit and tighten after a few months to cure squeaks.

ProsClassical look, no spacers needed, space for putting a bell on

This is the perfect quill because I can use an ahead stem AND I can take the bell on it... No stupid spacers... just a clean elegant shape. There is nohing similar on the market!! Highly recommended

Info about the top cap

By Adrian

01 Jul 2023

Hi does this come with a top cap that overlaps the stem that is mounted on the steerer column, i cant see any cap in the images. Do you have a photo of the top cap style that is used. many thanks

SJS Customer Service:

Hi, the top cap is integrated into the stems design and is not removable. There will be a new photo showing this soon. Thanks

Length?

By Jason

29 Jun 2023

I bought this fadapter rom SJS. It works with my 1" head tube but does not insert as far down the tube as i would have wanted. It seems that the tube has a slight internal taper and the lower half is a narrower diameter than the top half. My bars are higher than i would want. Ideally I would want to lower the bars an additional 3cm/ 4cm.

Does this adapter come in a version with a shorter lower section?

Is it feasible to cut the end of the lower section shorter?

SJS Customer Service:

Hello & thank you for your enquiry.
This item is specifically for 1 inch ( 25.4 mm ) fork, with 22.2 mm minimum internal diameter.
Total length 200 mm, with 130 mm to go inside the headtube, with minimum insert mark 80 mm from bottom of item.
Kind regards, PC 29/6/23.

Can I use a different top cap with this adapter?

Any clue where I can get a bevelled black spacer to sit against the flange?

By Gordon

21 Sep 2019

I want to use this with spacers. Any clue where I can get a bevelled black spacer to sit against the flange?

SJS Customer Service:

We could not advise sorry! Most spacers should sit flush / close to flush to the top anyway.

22mm model?

By Pierre

09 Sep 2019

Hello,
I'm looking for a version of the same, except for the old French 22.0 standard. A cyclery in Washington State used to sell them but no longer. Any idea?
Regards,
Pierre

SJS Customer Service:

Hi, sorry we don't have 22.0. Thanks 13/09/2019

or as means of using both a 1 inch quill stem or 1-1~8 stem?

By David

10 Feb 2018

Basically doing a build of a track bike and would wish to know if...as traditionally the bike has always had a quill threaded headset,...could i then use a fork that has a 1inch steel threaded steerer with this adaptor together with a stem that is 1-1~8 clamp?

SJS Customer Service:

Hi there,

This stem is designed to fit a 1inch threaded fork with a 1.1/8th stem.

Thanks

Can You Please Confirm This One Is An Alloy Part?

By Daniel Fancsali

08 Jul 2015

It would be crucial, that I get an aluminium part. Based on the picture this tube has quite thick walls, so I suppose it is made of an aluminium alloy. (As opposed to a simple steel tube.)

Can you please confirm?

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

This quill stem adapter is indeed made from and alloy and not made from steel.

Thanks.
