Stem Help..?

Question

I am wanting to purchase a new stem. But all the stems I find are the bolt on.. and I'm wanting to run my front brake line thru the fork, which I can't find the hollow bolt system to do that either? My bike, has the type of stem that goes inside the fork.. Will the bolt on still work on my bike?? thanks for all the help..

I think you mean you need a quill stem and are finding only threadless stems. No you can't use threadless. Quill stems are being used much less but quills are available. Try checking EBay they usually have a good selection.
