Hi - its my "Torker" 6 bolt stem:



Going into some RedLine forks.

btw, I have fixed it!!  Laying the stem on a flat surface I could see that someone has cut the stem down and it needed a bit of an angel grind.  Removing a tiny amount (well below the visible line) and it now goes in nice and easy, with just the expected amount of resistance.

thanks all - I was supper miffed when I tried to assemble this last night and could not get it in..

The 22.2mm could well be a late OS/mid type thing. I never had trouble with stems BitD.

I measured mine at once I realised it was defo 21.1 I knew it was going to go into the stem.  This is why I then looked at it again and saw the slight area that needed grinding.

ta,

Paul
