new member/delta quill stem risers

[Chasen Smith]

hi all! i have posted a couple times but never really introduced myself. I am Chasen, I live in NYC, and I've got a roadini and a gus, both orange, with an atlantis in the mail from c & l. i also have a 650b'd rb 2 that i cant place a year on,  a 1990 stumpjumper w a Clydesdale fork, and a junker old huffy mtb thing that i conduct stupid experiments on. 

These convos are such a great resource for young and dumb wannabe bike mechanics like myself, and you all seem much less grumpy than the folks over on reddit. For these things, I thank you all.

alright, heres the important part of this post:

What have the groups experiences been with delta quill stem risers of yore?

I became aware of them through this article on the riv site:

I found one cheap on ebay and its on the way to me now. Just wondering what everyone thinks of these! I am pretty excited to try it just for the novelty of it, though im sure theres a reason they're not readily available anymore. If anyone has pics of one in use, please share!

I probably should not blow up my own spot like this (I use two of these on my bikes and may soon need a third, I love them). But this from Soma Fabrications is 1) brand new, 2) the same price, and 3) a much higher rise.

These are the only risers that can make a typical "large" (usually about 60cm) bike from yesteryear comfortable for me. I love them, but keep in mind that they are machined rather than forged and heat treated like a Nitto product, so probably don't use one on a mountain bike that will see rough trail use.

Wesley, those are def a great option for threadless conversion, but what intrigues me about the one I bought is that you can jam a quill stem into it.

Yes, the original item linked is not a conversion stem its's an extension for quill stems. I have never used one so can't speak on how well they work or the safety of doing such a thing.
