  • Just got this off the bay for £40 (for nostalgia's sake as I had one when I was a kiddo) and hoping to turn it into my daily poodle around town bike, but I know nothing about retro MTB stuff...

    It's loooooong as expected so think I need a shorter stem, but options are limited as the canti is threaded through the stem, what is this stem called? is there a work around with a regular quill stem (that are aplenty on ebay)?

  • You just get a "spacer" that goes between the two headset nuts that has a canti hanger:

    Or one that mounts on the crown (probably less faff required):

    Or switch to decent V-brakes (not the POS things we all had as kids); they're a lot better.
