Hey,

Real quick, my stem doesn't have a minimum insert line. I've never paid enough attention on my previous quill stems to remember how far they were supposed to be inserted. Plus my last few bikes have all been threadless.

So what's is there a rule of thumb here or a standard minimum insert depth? The stem will only go so far into the steerer (I read that the steerer could be butted/tapered which makes sense) so I pulled have it pulled out about half an inch from bottoming out which I know should be plenty of steerer in there. However I wouldn't mind raising it a bit.

Thanks! You guys are always very helpful.
