Elvis Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I want to buy a new stem for my MTB. I have to measure the old one to get the same lengt. But how do you do it. Ia mean from where to where do you measure it?
AndreZA Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 From the the middle of the one clamp to the middle of the other.
linnega Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Or get your glasses on and look for the etching. Measurements are usually somewhere on the stem. Other option is to take the stem to the shop and compare side by side.
TNT1 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 What the? you can't measure a stem with glasses... you need a tape measure...

TNT1 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Ahem, it was agreed on Friday already, that I can't read...
Tumbleweed Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Ahem' date=' it was agreed on Friday already, that I can't read... [/quote'] that's ok! reminds me of an episode of the gummi bears when toady falls foul of "his dukiness". after dictating a letter, the duke asks toady's replacement to read it back to him. "no can read, only write?" comes the reply.
TNT1 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 And besides, some other dude accused me of being obnoxious for making fun of mad bob, so just trying to live up to my reputation. Go figure.
AndreZA Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 mampara do you mean from the middle of the lock nut to the middle of the bar clamp? basically the where the stem splits on the front to where the fork star nut is.
