Ted: Did you use this stem for packing an S&S coupled bike? I take it turning the bars wasn’t enough to get the bike into the case safely, and this stem allowed you to take the bars off altogether without affecting taping, controls, etc.?

Pierre in 2001 I purchased a 3T "MOTUS" quill stem with removable faceplate (held on by 2 bolts). Enclosed are a couple of photos, one of which is a little blurry. They show the stem. Maybe you can find one somewhere. This is a great stem because you can pull the handlebars off without having to untape, or remove controls. Here is a listing for one on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Old-Stock-3T-Motus-Quill-Stem-w-Silver-Finish-26-0-mm-clamp-x-120-mm-/390372950036 Mine has worked for 13 years and 35,000 miles Regards Ted On Sunday, September 7, 2014 11:39:00 PM UTC-4, Pierre wrote: Hello Bunch, S&S-coupled Riv owners: I am getting my 59 cm Hilsen retrofitted with S&S couplers. It's not a gigantic frame but not exactly a small frame either. I already anticipate a couple of issues and would like a couple of tips. 1/ Handlebar: is there such thing out there as a quill stem w/ removable front plate? is it worthwhile to investigate threadless adapter + ahead stem? 2/ Fork: (not sure yet if I'll need to remove it) anybody tried the the Velo Orange rinko headset? (or have a spare American Classic Trilock?) Anything things you've learned over the years to make packing/un-packing easy? Or add. tools/gears? Thank you.
