WTT: quill stem

Posted on
  • Hi,

    Is there anyone interested by a stem trade?
    I have: a 3ttt 2002 Evol, 110, 26 +/-0.4 clamp. As you can see in this picture(not mine) you can open this stem.

    Here are my pictures:


    What I would like: a short(70-90) italian stem: 3ttt, cinelli, itm... with a clamp size of 25.4

    Thanks!

  • I've got two stems that roughly fit that bill, I've got one SR one in 25.4, little ratty and an 80mm nitto pear in 26.0 if either sounds any good.

  • I like the pearl, but I need a 25.4 clamp as I already have a B260aa riser. And SR is Japanese isn't it?

  • Yeah, SR is Japanese IIRC, I'd be happy swapping it and throwing a bit of cash in if you wanted to use it as a placeholder. Or indeed just buying that stem off you, it's pretty much perfect for what I need.

  • Or, I'm pretty sure shims to take 26 down to 25.4 are pretty common and not too pricey if you wanted to use the nicer Pearl stem?

  • You can find these shims near your local canal path

  • Does it really work? I saw some scaring feedbacks about "can shim".
    I'm tempted now, but I'm not sure about this DIY solution :s And I don't really want to spend a tenner in shims just for safety...

  • You'll struggle to find an Italian stem in 25.4mm: that's the British/Far East standard size.

  • Yes, I checked velobase and all the Italian stems are in 26 or 26.4 :(

  • Stem sold, but I found the perfect substitute.
