Just got a Schwinn Traveler and am turning it into my winter fixie.

Needs a different stem but I think it uses a 21.15mm quill, not the

standard 22.2. Any reason why I couldn't get a 22.2 and grind it , and

the wedge, to get it to fit?



Thanks,

No, but that's an awful lot of work. I'd head over to Citybikes (either

one on Ankeny) or CCC (on Alberta) and see if they have a stem with an

appropriate quill diameter and configuration.



Schwinn always made things a little difficult with their 13/16" diameter

stems.
