I want to do some casual bike trekking on my commuter bike. Since it's old and banged up, it's due for upgrades. I have also been cucked by bike mechanics in the past (here in the Netherlands they don't give a shit about details or finishing), so I am determined to do my own maintenance from now on.
The bike has a quill stem, and considering my hip is busted, I'd like to try to see how aggressive of a position I can cycle in, so I went for a quill stem adapter, and an adjustable stem.
The problem is that, as far as I can see, there's no way to properly secure this particular stem to the adapter from the top, since the stem has a long screw, but the adapter has no place for that screw to go.
This leaves me with two choices:
1. Just brace the adapter with the new stem. I would imagine that there'd be a risk of the stem coming off?
2. Return it to the seller.
Wat do?
