I ordered a stem threadless adapter to raise my Swift's bars. But some hurdles:

- the standard 1" threaded to 1-1/8" threadless adapter (what I had on hand) does not fit. It's too small in diameter to fit in the Swift's stem post. You need a 1-1/8" threaded to threadless adapter (confusingly, the shaft of the 1-1/8" threaded adapter is 1" in diameter)

- but, this 1-1/8" adapter was slightly too big to fit my step post. Or rather, my stem post was slightly too small in diameter.

To avoid time sanding this down, I asked Peter if he had any riser available. He got back to me to tell me he is officially retired from Swift business, no more stuff on hand. He suggested the 1-1/8" adapter instead.

Time to start sanding!
