Noob Stem Question

[mani]

So a noob question for you guys. I got a Giant Revel 0 last year and I want to try some different positions for the bars, but I can't find what the specs are on the stem on the bike. Any suggestions on where I can find this? I looked on Giant's site and in the manual but got no love.

bikepedia is a pretty good resource

measure and do the math

when in doubt, measure and do the math. You can measure the inside diameter... them C= pi times diameter. Once you have the answer from the math, pick the standard size that is closest to the answer.

A lot of the time, the stem specs are printed on the inside so if you take the stem off the bike, you can see it.

unscrew the face plate, it should be in there or on the part that goes around the steerer tube. It may actually be stamped on the outside of the stem too.
