Hey all -

I was looking at my nitto stem, and am not sure where the "max stem height" line actually is.  Is it the words "max stem height"?  and does that mean that those words must be down into the steerer tube (effectively making the top of that line of text the line)?

Help?

Hmm, mine has a dotted line above those words so I would on top of those is max extension.

All text and any min/max insertion line should be in the steerer tube and not visible.

Typically, a quill stem gives you 65mm to 75mm, measured from the long part in the back, that needs to be inserted fully into the steerer.

Dave, who still remembers this foolish fellow who had his quill a fair bit above the minimum insertion mark but insisted that because he never had a problem with it there was "no problem"
