If you still have the old fork, remove it from the bike and measure the diameter of the steerer tube.

If you smashed the fork in a crash, double check the frame to make sure it's not bent or cracked anywhere.

If you are looking for a cheap stem, I have a 140mm ITM one. Will do either steerer size with a shim. To suit 25.8mm bars (I can supply them as well ;-)
