When I saw you unbox the new toy I wondered if a bike project was in the making. You didn’t disappoint. Really like your projects and the way you edit them. I liked your furniture build too ....got any more in the pipeline? Richard
Definitely! Things have slowed down a bit due to work and money.. but I always have an endless list of projects that grows faster than I can make them ;) Hopefully this summer there will a very big and special project I've been planning for some time.
You shouldn't use those brased on carbide cutters. Use a carbide inserts as they have chip beakers built into them. That way you won't get those giant bird nests of swarf. Which is dangerous and can damage the surface of the metal. Also you need the main bolt to be hollow so you have something to thread the new stem top cap too.
Hi really good.. By any chance do you have any vedio for How to make HeadTube from scratch...? It's not HeadTube set installation only converting from tube to HeadTube.. Please reply
I actually didn't learn any of this in school, mostly just by watching TH-cam. It's true though, Lathes are expensive. But you can get a decent one for 2k or less if you buy used!
Do you happene to remember the diameter you drilled in the lowere 1" section and the angle cut for the wedge? I'm thinking of having a go at maching one myself
Yeah you can buy them, but they are usually much shorter. Reason I made this custom was that I wanted a really long one so it doubles as an extender. If you don't factor in the cost of the lathe it's cheaper too ;)
Could you make me a custom one? I too need a taller extension for the 90s vintage mtb to drop bar slick tire cruiser im working on. I have an odd ball 1 1/8 (25.4mm) THREADED headtube that im trying to work around but its obviously complicated since its not the norm. This would help! let me know what you can do, thanks!
I don't, and yeah it would definitely be a good idea. The problem is mainly that you have to pay taxes for it and that's where things get complicated. But I will let everyone know once I've worked that out.
Who would make me an adapter? I need one with 65mm of 1 1/8" upper extension to accept the lovely Velo Orange Tall-Stack Stem. My faithful 1989 Raleigh Rando needs a sympathetic upgrade to 31.8mm bars.
Nope just common 6060, if you make sure to have enough wall thickness (I'd say at least 3mm at the thinnest section) that should work fine unless it's excessively long. Something like 7075 would be better but it's hard to find and expensive
@@PhilVandelay Thanks for getting back to me, I can get 6061 T6, from Ebay, nice and cheap, finished size 1 1/8 diameter. Do you think that this would be ok, or do you think that it would be better to buy a larger size, and turn it down to 1 1/8. Not sure what to do. Thanks again
@@sk8erfollrod It's not really designed for threadless headset as it only fits into a 1" steerer (which are usually threaded), but I suppose if you made one for threadless, that's one way it could work yes
It went together easily in less than an hour. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
Because I'm tall ;) You can't see it in the video but the saddle is at the same height. I just have to put the bars high as well, otherwise I get a really uncomfortable riding position
you also had to make the top lid. why don't you sharpen your incisors correctly? of course, it is easier to clean up drained shavings when it is like a sponge as a whole skein, but the cutter must be sharpened as expected

Very cool. I made this same mod about 25 years ago and it actually held up without ever getting loose even after a few accidents.
Great work mate, love to see someone working with machines, a great skill to have , cheers
For a second I thought we were going to see some real work being done but it looks like the machines did everything. J/K this was awesome AF!
Need one of these, but a good bit longer, for a sheared / snapped steer tube on an old chinesium ebike.
Great Phil...and thanks a lot for share. I learn a lot from you.....from Argentina.
Nice work.
Nice job!! Have to make one tomorrow at lunch..
great job
Simple and efficient
Great job mr phil outstanding jobs & bikes modification, thanks to share, keep the good job & bike comunity updates, say hello, joe.

sorry bro how much effort u taken bro, great sir, keep rocking sir
Excelente trabajo, necesito uno así para mi bicicleta, saludos desde Venezuela..!
Next project: Front stem toilet paper holder
... any suggestions for increasing the length of a Vintage Roadster Bicycle Handle Stem ?

Where can i buy it? :)
Hi really good..
By any chance do you have any vedio for
How to make HeadTube from scratch...?
It's not HeadTube set installation only converting from tube to HeadTube..
Please reply
Nice job, it inspired me, now I just 10k for a lathe and four years of trade school to learn how to use it, keep the videos coming.
I actually didn't learn any of this in school, mostly just by watching TH-cam. It's true though, Lathes are expensive. But you can get a decent one for 2k or less if you buy used!
Do you happene to remember the diameter you drilled in the lowere 1" section and the angle cut for the wedge? I'm thinking of having a go at maching one myself
keep call me bro, if possible come to country in
Can anyone tel me if this is safe for mountain biking? I’ll put in weld on the wedge and the 1” cylinder to prevent movement
Easy to use like it cause it portable
Nice work, wish someone would sell this, can only get very short ones. And I looked high and low.
Agree -- a 1 1/8" threaded to 1 1/8" threadless riser stem is a unicorn...
Naisse...
I think there is a good market out there for a chromoly steel version strong enough for abuse on a BMX bike. There are none on the market.
is there actually a possibility to put 1 1/8 inch forks into a 1 inch tube? thx
I cut the clamp arm off a quill stem, uniformed it in the lathe, and made a shim. Just to see how it'd go. No probs. I like yours better.
Nice custom part, Side note a produce that does that exists, cost is around $25 its a Quill adapter.
Yeah you can buy them, but they are usually much shorter. Reason I made this custom was that I wanted a really long one so it doubles as an extender. If you don't factor in the cost of the lathe it's cheaper too ;)
Haterade you still watched it
@@hioutputmotorsports5378 wasnt hate. I was just informing that that item exists if they were unaware.
Can you make me a custom quill extender in Titanium ?

modern problem requires modern solutions
Do you already have Patron? I think there are people that want to support you and keep your projects alive ;)
I don't, and yeah it would definitely be a good idea. The problem is mainly that you have to pay taxes for it and that's where things get complicated. But I will let everyone know once I've worked that out.
From germany hum? ;) That's a known thing. ^^
How many centimeters is that?
THE SOLUTION FOR TALL PEOPLE 👍
Sir San po ako makabili ng stem adapter standard to over size

Jason Wright look up your local machine / Cnc engineers 🙂👍🏻
Jonny, love u da
Are you making these for sale??
No, I only made this one ;)
good job, sometimes the only way to get what you want is to make it. Did you use a special grade of aluminium to make it, as i need to do the same.

@@RobertAdams-ly5ku Sounds fine to me if it fits right off the shelf
@@PhilVandelay Thanks Phil, I'll give it a go, and follow your advice on wall thickness.
Is this for sale
How do you adjust the bearing preload?
Same way as before, this thing simply replaces the quill stem, headset stays the same
@@PhilVandelay So you put a starnut in the extender for threadless headsets?
@@sk8erfollrod It's not really designed for threadless headset as it only fits into a 1" steerer (which are usually threaded), but I suppose if you made one for threadless, that's one way it could work yes
