Wanted: Quill Stem with Short Stem

Posted on
  • I need something for a short head tube on a bike im setting up
    I've only got one stem fits without extending to high
    but thats from my bike and i don't really want to part with it.
    (by short stem i mean the part that goes in head headtube)

  • if its a diagnol one you could just cut a longer one with a hacksaw ;)

  • Wasn't there this conversation ages ago, about getting the 45 degree angle spot on?
    Or am I being a moopit?

  • No i think you're right, you have to be more accurate than you'd think

  • on most the angel is slightly curved.

  • the angel you say?

    anyway - scrapper: i was in BLB the other day and janos has a box of second hand stems out back, i saw a few short ones in there.

    Thanks but I try to avoid purchasing from BLB after basically being told I was stupid for asking if i could buy a 2nd hand Italian BB that i needed.

    I found a one to use, only like 60mm abit short but it will do till i find something else

  • ok cool, i understand, just thought i'd gie you the heads up.

    i avoid mosquito after they were rude to me back in the day.

  • I've had the same problem in the past - discussed here previously
