Yes, the original item linked is not a conversion stem its's an extension 
for quill stems. I have never used one so can't speak on how well they work 
or the safety of doing such a thing.

Wesley, those are def a great option for threadless conversion, but what
intrigues me about the one I bought is that you can jam a quill stem into
it.

[RBW] Re: new member/delta quill stem risers

2023-08-04 Thread Wesley 
I probably should not blow up my own spot like this (I use two of these on 
my bikes and may soon need a third, I love them). But this from Soma 
Fabrications is 1) brand new, 2) the same price, and 3) a much higher rise.

https://www.somafabshop.com/shop/soma-high-rider-xl-quill-28-6-22-2-290mm-4984#attr=2406

These are the only risers that can make a typical "large" (usually about 
60cm) bike from yesteryear comfortable for me. I love them, but keep in 
mind that they are machined rather than forged and heat treated like a 
Nitto product, so probably don't use one on a mountain bike that will see 
rough trail use.
