[RBW] Hand mitred quill stems safe to use?
No, it doesn't play well, though well enough? Specifically, it doesn't provide all the smooth torque that a parallel interface gives, but it doesn't focus the torque it does have on either end, which could really screw up an otherwise lovely steer tube. So I'll be making sure that my new mitre, or stem bottom angle as I'm thinking it, matches the old perfectly, and that the freshly hewn edges get cleaned up with a file, or mitred as some might say. Thanks for asking the question lungensam. While I'm sure that little or none of this has helped or even approached an answer to your original question, based on the cricket quotient, it's allowed me to work out an understanding of what I think you were asking about for my own application. -Kai Brooklyn, NY -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Definitely. File the edges. Question is, how important is it to get the angle right? Seems to me that it could be fudged a few degrees and still be operational, depending on the design of the plug, or quill end, or whatever that piece of pie at the bottom's called. And the only reason I've given this any thought is I've got an olde timey Soma generation that came with a 26 foot tall stem. Side question aplenty- a gentleman up the street has a reamer that he swears wouldn't cause terrible concern if I wanted to widen the not quite 1 steerer tube to 1. The metal's there to do it, just wonder what a minimum wall thickness is to survive. And if you've read this far... I got me a 68 quickbeam!! So nothing else matters. I have questions I'll be bugging the group with soon. Thanks, and good luck with your stem remodeling. -Kai -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

On third thought, angle seems important most of the time with only some (ok, only 1 that I've seen) that have a convex contact point that might allow for a sloppy (+/- 10 degrees?) angle. So, would a flat contact design such as nitto's play well with a trimmed and convexed stem shaft? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Or, if not finished properly will the hand cut rise/wedge interface area cut away at the inside of your steerer tube over time? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
