Jason, If you think you might want to test out several different stem lengths with a threaded to threadless adapters let me know. I have a Nitto version of this adapter in my parts bin that I could mail down for you to try. I could pick it back up the next time I see you. Hit me up if that is a route you end up taking. Unforunately all of my threadless stems are 31.8 so I couldn't be much help in that department.
