Sorry for the late response, but I used a Dremmel to grind down the inside of the headset locknut. You could also use a round file, but it is just going to take longer. Just take the headset locknut off and see if you can get the stem to fit. If you can, then you may just need to modify the locknut, but if you can't then you are going to need to do something else. I did this following Sheldon Brown's advice: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/velos.html
If you follow that link and scroll down to the Handlebars/Stems section, you will see it. On Dec 3, 1:53 pm, PATRICK MOORE <[email protected]> wrote: > ???!!!
