Velo Orange Quill Stem

This stem is designed specifically for bicycles with a 1-inch threaded steerer tube, which is standard on most vintage road, touring, and mountain bikes. Before purchasing, verify that your bike's steerer tube diameter is 22.2mm to ensure a proper fit.

Yes, that is the primary advantage of this component. It features a 31.8mm bar clamp diameter, allowing you to easily install modern, contemporary handlebars on a classic bike frame.

Unlike traditional quill stems that require you to slide the handlebar through a narrow clamp, this 2-bolt removable faceplate allows you to simply bolt the handlebar onto the front. This makes swapping bars or performing maintenance significantly faster and less frustrating.

With a 0-degree extension and a 130mm rise, this stem is built to provide a comfortable, upright riding position. It is an excellent choice if you are looking to reduce strain on your back and neck during longer rides.

While it is durable enough for light touring and gravel riding, it is primarily designed for classic road and city bike geometries. It offers reliable performance, but it is not intended for aggressive mountain biking or heavy-duty trail use.
