Default French bike - ream the steerer or sand the stem?

There are probably a lot of 22.0mm French stems that have done decades
of service in 22.2mm ISO steerers without the owners even being aware
they have the wrong size in there.


Read the post...22mm fork, 22.2 quill stem, not the other way around.


My point was that the fit didn't have to be all that precise, and
therefore he could sand the quill without worry.


Sure, make that thin-ish quill thinner, no problem breaking a quill. Or
maybe just get the quill started and hammer the thing in with a big
mallet.....

Best advice is from Phil...new fork, of 22.2, then any stem, including
threadless.


The only issue there is that a new fork will look wrong on an old bike,
cost $$$, or both.
