Best place to buy a Nitto quill?

Hi,
I have resurrected my old steel track iron as it actually fits me better than my sexy newer Duratec. I need the bars a little higher than they were before but I toasted the quill stem in a crash, so am running with a nasty quill adaptor and ahead stem. The steep drop nitto will leave the bars too low, a Pearl or similar will work. OK to buy new, who is good in the UK? I have found it at HUBjub, just wondered if anyone else keeps Nitto?
Thx,
Scherrit.

Japan.

Cyclebasket do the rather nice Dynamic in 9-13cm lengths.

1. Shit post.

2. They're

3. What makes a stem crap? There's no way you put enough power through the front end of your bike to flex one of those dynamics.

I have one on my Quinn. It's fine. It looks good, doesn't weigh much, and works. What's not to like?

Happy to try one, in my experience an alloy stem lasted about a season of track use (including starts) before it started creaking because of becoming slightly waisted where the top of the steerer hits it. But 1) I'm not as strong as I used to be and 2) that's not a fatal amount of dosh to drop on a season's racing- not compared to fuel to Newport and Manchester for example....
Thanks for the input.

Go to Hubjub for new Nitto stuff. You'll get it quickly and Will deserves your money for knockout customer service.

I have one of them well bendy NJS shizzles, that points well fucking down like a bitch. It increases my saddle to bar drop like a mother fucker.

There's something about the west coast, it makes me wanna ride.

Yeah, bitch.

i know you said UK, but bens cycle in the US has some incredible stems right now. buy them up if you can swing it.

oh my god (literally).

scherrit, I think the Pearl is a little stiffer than the Dynamic.

Go to hubjub, always worth it for the little personalised note Will puts in.

Well, I do, so I know scherrit definitely will.

Yes, Dynamics can definitely flex. I was using one with bullhorns for months. The bendiness freaked me out cos there was so much movement pulling away from lights or making an uphill effort. The original Dynamic - which was 110mm, I think - was swapped for a shorter length. There was no more scary flexing after that.

Velosolo have a good selection of Nitto bits and bobs. Great service too.

They currently have some particularly sweet NOS Shimano Ultegra stems (made by Nitto) in stock.

Got the Pearl in the mail today from Hubjub, thx for advice- will support him in future! Bike is going to look very old skool!
Cheers,
