Threaded to threadless headset adapter spacers?
I have a threaded to threadless headset adapter installed (22.2 mm to 28.6 mm ). Looking for some spacers to put on the 22.2 mm section to make it look beefier, perhaps with a 22.2-3 mm ID and a 28.6 mm OD. Anyone know if/where you can buy them online, if at all? Preferably in black? Most shops carry spacers for threadless headsets which have bigger ID/OD obviously. Thanks!

I'd leave it be. All it's going to do is creak and possibly damage the bottom shelf of the adapter/stem or the top nut of the headset. There's nothing to draw the stem adapter down onto the shim(s) and keep it in place once you start pulling on the bars. If you really want a clean looking conversion I'd look into the Innocycle deal that JoeJack sells. As far as the adapters go, I only use the Nitto MTC-04.

Depending on what stem length you use and how much rise you need there are quill options like the Nitto Dynamic II zero degree stem. As far as I know it only comes in 120mm (the size I use).
