Mac-Ride Adapters and Parts – Eaglebear

Ride More seats are great for cruising. If you cycle on a "cruiser" style bike, or perhaps an an older bike, you won't need the standard Ride More spacers. Instead, you need an adapter for your stem, so that the Ride More front clamp fits properly. That's the "quill stem adapter".

There are two sizes of Quill Stem Adapter and it is important to know what you need. They are not interchangeable.

  • 7/8" or 22.2mm.
  • 1" or 25.4mm. 

Sometimes the size is marked on the shaft of the stem, inside the steerer tube, but not always. If you have calipers, you can determine the size you need (the measurement is the diameter). If you are not sure what size adapter your bike needs, if you are in North America, you can use the "quarter test" pictured here. Some further information here. And you can also check in with your local bike shop.

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:

  1. Loosen the stem bolt, only a few turns. Do not undo the bolt fully.
  2. 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.
  3. No need to remove the bars from your stem, keep them in place.
  4. Then feed the Quill Adapter from the bottom, onto your stem.
  5. The Adapter can be gently tightened to lightly grip the stem. It does not need to be cranked.
  6. 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!
