Updating an older road bike from a quill stem or old gooseneck to a more modern setup. A friend asked me if it were possible to add a shorter stem and more modern handlebars to his newly acquired LiteSpeed titanium road bike. After taking a measurement of his quill stem (22.2 mm) I went on Amazon and purchased this adapter for under $10. Fortunately, in my parts bin, I had another set of drop bars and a 60mm stem. Installation is a very easy process that can be done with just a few Allen keys. Some key advantages are: -not having to remove your levers and bar tape to change stem lengths. -more freedom in stem lengths -looks better but that's just my opinion cons: -Going to upset some cycling purists ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music Artist: Dyalla Title: Treat Yourself
