| Aug 4, 2016 at 23:41 | comment | added | Rider_X | I have seen adapters to convert a quill stem to a thread less system, but not the other way around (as requested by the OP). Given the way a thread less headset is tensioned it incompatible with a quill stem and your request is not currently possible. | |
| Aug 4, 2016 at 23:31 | comment | added | Nathan Knutson | There are some terminology mixups going on here. The stem you're replacing is threadless? Are you replacing a threadless stem mounted on a quill stem adapter with just a normal quill stem? What is the bike, what is the old stem, and what is the new stem? | |
