Bullhorns and quill stems
I've heard that getting the profile designs bullhorns into a quill stem can be a problem. Is this true? Are there any other bullhorns that don't work so well with quill stems? Syntace work ok, right?

aside from possibly scratching them during installation i don't see why you might have a problem as long as the clamp diameter is correct

The Profiles I have are 26mm end to end so they are virtually impossible to get them through traditional non-open faced quill stems.
