Old School, New School – Bicycle Quill Stem Mod Bolt Mender

The Bicycle Quill stem is a design that has been around for quite some time. It’s a very simple design, and it really is the only quill style that is typically made from stainless steel, or some other metal that will not corrode after many years of use. The Bicycle Quill stem fits directly onto the fork of any bike, so you don’t have to remove it to put on another bike.

The ebike quill stem is an extremely strong design that allows it to work with the bolt system that most bicycles use. The bicycle quill stem fits directly over the steerer tube, and the bolt is held securely in place by two small ratchet straps that go around the tube, securing it. If the bike were to lose its bolt, the ebike quill stem would easily convert itself to a handle bar with the bolts removed, and then it would continue on to serve the same purpose as a normal bicycle stem. Since it is completely removable, the bicycle quill stem is also considered aero fork.

There are several versions of the old school bicycle quill stem, ranging from the simple quill stem with one ratchet strap, to a much longer version with sixteen ratchet straps. You can even get the m10 x 1.0 Chrome bolt menders that fit directly onto your existing fork. All of these variants are available on the market today, and are becoming increasingly popular with bikers everywhere.
