Yup. I've very barely managed with some welded Salsa-style stems + coin method + 45min of cursing, but the last time the lady friend and I tried to get a pair onto a forged quill for her tourer we bent the clamp badly and it wouldn't close again.
Turns out it was a 25.4 clamp but I'd nonetheless be a bit worried about getting compacts onto proper quills.
Anyone else had difficulty getting a quill stem round the bend on compact drops? It's driving me bananas!
have had no joy with the penny method so far
