Ruby's First Ride
Quill Spacer Install
The initial step between you and riding together on your commuter or road bike is the install of your Ride More quill stem adapter. To install, you need to remove the stem from the steering tube:
- Loosen the stem bolt, only a few turns. Do not undo the bolt fully.
- If the bolt is sticky, especially on older bikes, you might need to use a rubber mallet to gently knock the bolt on it's head before trying to loosen again.
- No need to remove the bars from your stem, keep them in place.
- Then feed the Quill Adapter from the bottom, onto your stem.
- The Adapter can be gently tightened to lightly grip the stem. It does not need to be cranked.
- Replace stem in steerer tube and tighten the bolt.
Once's your spacer is on, you can leave it there for easy peasy Ride More Install. Then you're off and away to nursery, or to the park, just like Ruby!
Cruising with Ride More
We go big with Ride More seats and their mountain bike compatibility. But cruising is super sweet too. And we never leave home without our seat, the standard spacer, and a quill adapter, so we can cruise while on holiday too!
