      The Chicago Schwinn fanatics and everyone who thinks quill stems and threaded headsets magically come loose and cannot be kept tight. And the ones who think 1" steerers can't possibly be strong enough. And the ones who think quill stems are old tech that should be forgotten and never spoken of.

  • @zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589

    Addendum Method B (for when the stem quill is REALLY stuck): remove stem bolt, plug stem bolt-head hole with a cut-down cork or rubber plug. Turn bike upside down in the stand (or on the floor, in the corner). Put some newspaper or cardboard under the head tube. Pour as much Coca-Cola (original, not Diet, nor any of the fancy recent deviants) as will fill the steerer tube, maybe to an inch below the bottom of the fork crown. Leave it overnight, or as long as you can spare. Gently pour it out (save it if you want to use it again) by rotating the bike. Put a trash nutted wheel in the forks. Apply force as per Calvin: with luck, the Phosphoric Acid in the Coke will have eaten away at the corrosion bond between stem and steerer enough for you to break it as per Calvin. You can use vinegar (as strong as possible: 8% pickling vinegar is great) as the Acetic Acid does pretty much the same thing, except your workshop will smell like fish and chips for days. Cheers, from Mark In Oz.

      You could probably make it happen if you drilled the cap for the adaptors bolt. The bolt on the adaptor is very similar/ the same as the quill stems bolt. You could remove the existing cap and size a custom one. Long story short the custom cap will not be a direct fit.

      A threadless system means replacing the old threaded fork with one that is threadless. Check out Innicycle for a really nice threaded-to-threadless conversion set. It’s pricey and involves replacing the old headset cups too, but it’s a very slick piece of engineering and the best way to keep your threaded fork (big for vintage restomods/aesthetics).

      Not recommended. The stem would be clamping on the fork where it is threaded, which is a series of cuts in the steel. It would be weaker in this area as you stress the fork side to side by riding. Failure will eventually occur.

      @@parktool Thanks so much for responding and the really helpful advice. I'll keep an eye out for threadless forks or get a quill adapter instead. Thanks again!

    I had one seized I used refrigeration gas to chill the stem while heating the forks and pulling it apart with 4000lbs (forklift ) it lost

    Do you have to change over to a threadless headset? Can you change over to a threadless headset?

      Going from a threaded to threadless headsets first requires both a THREADLESS fork and a threadless headset.

    At least mention that the headset needs to be serviced. I've never not been able to get old stems out, same with seat posts. Penetrating oil and patience are your friends.

    does someone know when safety brakes were introduced for bikes and for what purpose

    • @type17
      @type17 Před 3 lety +1

      They were introduced in the early/mid 70's, and the purpose was to make things safer but, like many poorly-understood safety designs, actually made things less safe (people relied on being able to brake from the top of the bars but, unless the brakes were set up very carefully, and kept very well adjusted, people found that the safety levers bottomed out on the bars long before enough braking force was being applied).

    I hate threaded and quills. It's always a pain to remove, you need a lot of sh*t like oil and special tools. The guy who invented threadless stems was a gift sent from heaven

    This was totally unexpected. My mind blown . But what if you change the forks ? Can you get threadless forks . ?

    • @parktool
      @parktool  Před 3 lety

      For the 1-1/8" standard, it is easy to find threadless forks. This was a 1" fork column, and threadless forks are not easily available.

    Can you put a threadless fork on a frame with a threaded fork? Want to turn my ridgid bike in to a hardtail

    • @parktool
      @parktool  Před 3 lety +1

      In most situations you can. Something to note is that a suspension fork often changes the geometry of the bike and can exert forces on the frame that it was not designed for. This can lead to frame failure.
