  • Noob question, but can I slam a quill stem? How low can I go?

  • Yes, as low as you can really. Brake bolt will ultimately stop the quill if the steerer is reemed all the way.

  • How low can I go?

    Stop before you get to the fillet between the quill and the extension, you don't want to notch that with the sharp edge of the top headset nut. Remember that a quill tends to pull down slightly when tightened, so allow for that. On small frames, you sometimes hit the butt in the steerer long before you're slammed.
