    Afternoon All

    Just taken delivery of a 2010 Rize and the stem’s a bit long for me. Any ideas if it’s actually 1.5 or a 1.56 please before I order the wrong sized stem?

    Otherwise it’s off to the Vernier calipers shop (always fancied one)

    Thanks

    If they are fox forks then I imagine they will be 1.5.
    It’s only lefty/headshok steerers that are 1.56″ as far as I am aware.

    glenh is correct (1.5 or onepointfive for everyone else vs c’dale 1.56 lefties & headshock), though I suppose there a chance the steerer is a tapered jobby?

    I would think it was a tapered headtube and therefore 11/8 stem

    What ho gents – many thanks for the response.

    To be honest I’ve not taken it apart yet – but it doesn’t look like a tapered on the grounds that the top cap’s like a bin lid. That’s this evening’s job. Odd to buy a new bike then strip most of the OE kit off (wheels, drive chain, finishing kit) and then stick olfd stuff back on. Is this usual?

    All being well it’s a ‘normal’ 1.5 and I can find a stem that doesn’t make me feel stretched, which is not confidence inspiring on high speed rocky descents in the dark and has tweaked my lower back.

    Thanks again

    Paul
