I have an older mountain bike that takes a 21.1 quill stem and I would really love to have a 1-1/8 stem and 31.8 60mm rise fat bar on it, any of you guys ever try one of these stem adaptors? Seller claims it takes a 21.1 to run a 1-1/8 stem, around 15 bucks shipped, I've never used one before, seems a little sketchy but i'm hoping to hear a few "Yeah man those work great" or "I've been running one for years now with no issues" what do you guys think?

I'm definitely on the fence about getting one, I really like the look of the 31.8 riser bar on my new Gravity 29er, hoping to whip my old Huffy into shape with a set!
 
They work fine, and they don't even look too out-of-place on the bike once they're installed. I don't run one, but i got friends who do. Installed a few on customer bikes in the distant past. The only possible drawback is that they tend to be much heavier than you might expect, which is a good thing b/c an underbuilt one might be more prone to break, and i doubt if a few extra oz will make a difference on "the old Huffy". :113: I say, "go for it..."

For $15 it couldn't be much of a fence. Go for it.
 
After you buy one of these. Post us a picture of how they look on your bike. Maybe you can ride your bike over to that restaurant on the other side of the fence. I hear they have real good food over there. Too far to walk. :bigboss:
