Where can I get a very short stem for an Islabike?
We have an older Beinn 20 inherited from an older cousing, and it would fit perfectly if it didn't have a long ish stem.
1 inch quill or threadless?
If it's ahead/threadless just use any short 1 1/8th stem you like and a reducer shim (MPart ones are about £2).
If it's quill then eBay, SJS Cycles, SPA or call your LBS and ask if they have anything hiding in a box in the cupboard, or use a quill to Ahead converter, will add a bit of weight but not massive amounts.
Cheers thanks. Threadless, I found this [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alloy-Short-Handlebar-Stem-Riser-BMX-7-Degree-31-8mm-Fixed-Gear-Bicycle-MTB-Bike/251921120439? ]on ebay[/url]
And a steerer adaptor [url= http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/m:part-ahead-stem-shim-adapts-1-1-8-inch-286-mm-to-1-inch-254-mm-prod3618/ ]here[/url]
Just need shims to fit the small dia bars which I guess are 25.4 also?
Even better found this stem with 25.4 bars. [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bicycle-Bike-Handle-Stem-Riser-7-Degree-25-4mm-Cycling-Road-Short-Handlebar-BMX/221634298999 ]ebay[/url]
