Are you dead set on a quill stem? VO makes a nice quill to threadless
adapter. If you need more height, Soma makes a ludicrously tall
version. You would have many more options with threadless stems.
Again, VO has some nice options.

How is the chain line? Are you running a double chainring up front or
a single? Does the bike coast in the stand better on one of the two
cogs on the DOS? Are you sure you have the correct width chain (3/32"
I believe)? Could you stick a fixed cog on the flop side, even just
temporarily, to remove

No doubt about it: Park 4th Hand. I still hate adjusting brakes, but

I knit and then felted (that is, intentionally shrunk) a bag last
winter. It is still sitting unused. I've found the hard part to be
sourcing hardware (clasps, stuff to attach it securely to my saddle,
etc.). The quality of a felted wool is high, but given the hours
