    I have to replace /lengthen my Bontrager Race Road stem. How do I determine the length of the
    present stem; from where and to where do I measure? As an option, I'm guessing I could pull the
    present stem and find a length marked someplace. Anyone know for sure?

    Thanks

    center of the handlebar to center of the steerer, along the stem angle, not true horizontal (unless
    it's a 0deg stem).
