A Quill Stem Top Cap machined from high-strength 642 Bronze.
Inspired by the gold top caps on old Salsa quill stems, these are a lovely way to spruce up an old Stem. 642 Bronze has similar strength and fatigue resistance compared to the bronze used in fillet brazing - perfect for the higher loads supported by Quill Stem Caps. Works great

Precise fit. High quality and a beautiful finish. Resurrected an older Nitto made Ritchey Force stem for a more comfortable fit. Brass finish compliments the aesthetic of the build.

So happy this exists. Needed a replacement cap for my old T-Bone quill stem and wanted a brass one desperately. Took a gamble on this one not knowing if it would fit. Threw it on and it fits perfect!

Just what I was looking for!
Forager had just the right brass cap for my Nitto quill stem!
