Hello Park Tool! Interesting but a little confusing… The final setup is a mix of both systems so don’t go wrong with the screws. Indeed, it can be very dangerous because it’s your steering, so be careful. Otherwise, very good content as always and it’s simple, you’re my master in the bicycle repair world even if I’m French !

Finally, I also love the good quality and design of your tools, so good job, really!

@@SiopaoSauc3 Replacement would be if I just swapped out the old square taper to a new square taper. In this case, given Hollowtech 2 is mechanically different with how the crank arms interface with the BB and frame.

Addendum Method B (for when the stem quill is REALLY stuck): remove stem bolt, plug stem bolt-head hole with a cut-down cork or rubber plug. Turn bike upside down in the stand (or on the floor, in the corner). Put some newspaper or cardboard under the head tube. Pour as much Coca-Cola (original, not Diet, nor any of the fancy recent deviants) as will fill the steerer tube, maybe to an inch below the bottom of the fork crown. Leave it overnight, or as long as you can spare. Gently pour it out (save it if you want to use it again) by rotating the bike. Put a trash nutted wheel in the forks. Apply force as per Calvin: with luck, the Phosphoric Acid in the Coke will have eaten away at the corrosion bond between stem and steerer enough for you to break it as per Calvin. You can use vinegar (as strong as possible: 8% pickling vinegar is great) as the Acetic Acid does pretty much the same thing, except your workshop will smell like fish and chips for days. Cheers, from Mark In Oz.

You could probably make it happen if you drilled the cap for the adaptors bolt. The bolt on the adaptor is very similar/ the same as the quill stems bolt. You could remove the existing cap and size a custom one. Long story short the custom cap will not be a direct fit.

A threadless system means replacing the old threaded fork with one that is threadless. Check out Innicycle for a really nice threaded-to-threadless conversion set. It’s pricey and involves replacing the old headset cups too, but it’s a very slick piece of engineering and the best way to keep your threaded fork (big for vintage restomods/aesthetics).
