Thus a quill stem made to fit a 28.6 mm (1 + 1 ⁄ 8 in) steerer tube has an outer diameter of 25.4 mm (1 in). For 25.4 mm (1 in) steerer tubes the quill diameter is most often 22.2 mm (7 ⁄ 8 in) but some older American bicycles used 21.15 mm. Some older French bicycles used 25 mm steerer tubes with 22 mm diameter quill stems. [6]

Traditional bicycle head tubes and headsets are sized for a 25.4 mm (1 in) diameter steerer tube (also known as the fork column).

The larger diameter of the head tube and headset gives added stiffness to the steering ...

[4] [5] Notable Softride users include Greg Welch [6] and Jürgen Zäck. [6] [7] In a survey of bicycles ridden at the 1996 Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, there were 126 Softrides, out of 857 total bicycles, representing 14.7%. That was an increase from the 11.9% of 798 bicycles in 1995.
In the days of quill stems, a road stem was clearly identifiable from its "7" shape, but nowadays it can be hard to tell the difference between a "road" (26.0 mm [1 + 1 ⁄ 32 in]) and "MTB" (25.4 mm [1 in]) stem. Manufacturers frequently omit the clamp size from advertising or packaging.
