    Hello,

    I was considering getting a new Pake Track frame but I already have parts from my previous Kilo.
    I wanted to use my Nitto Pearl stem but the head tube on the new Pakes are 1 1/8" and the Pearl is 1", is there a way to still use it, some sort of adapter or shim?
    I also have a 1" threaded chrome threaded fork, can I use it or do I have to change it?

    Thanks!

    Thats alot of work and money just to use a quill stem. Just go threadless.

    Agreed just sell the stem and pick up a 1 1/8 thread less headset and stem. It'll be easier to change bars with thread less anyways.

    And if you like the look of quill stems Velo Orange has a a threadless that looks like it's threaded. Looks really nice and the price isn't terrible.
