  • Very cool. Alee Denham covered these new bottle dynamos, they seem really nice, from memory. I think the only way to do the threadless in your situation is to extend the steerer, but that needs joining, idk if you can do that. But even then, you're with a 1'' steerer again, dunno if shims would work. Spa do a clean looking adapter. Velo orange tall stem with removable face plate is nice.

    Go nitto on the rack, fuck it.

  • Ha, yes, a M18? Or the cheaper Wald / BLB option which looks similar. Maybe I will just get struts and a bracket and make something in a DIY style.

    I got a stem adapter now on which on the bottom again is an adapter and then I can use 1 1/8" spacers and a 1 1/8" stem. I was just wondering how all these #26inchaintnotdead builds were made. Hopefully the transition from the 1" threaded headset to the 1 1/8" spacers will look OK!

  • Re threadless, a lot of 90s 26in frames have 1 1/8 threaded steerers so you can stick a threadless fork and headset in. Or extend the existing steerer and make it a diy threadless, but that's brazing (or is it welding?). With a 1in you're kinda stuck.

    I fancy M12, just seems a bit more solid attachment than M18, since you have the bosses might as well. Looks cleaner too. But I'm sure either will do. An M12 will come with its own mounting bolts, btw.
