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]

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.
