WTD…..Giant sl OD2 stem

halfmoonbeam

Hi looking for a 90mm stem for my 2022 defy pro 110mm on there at the minute.

Was pricing online actually hard enough to find one, but just checking if someone has one going?

I can understand there could be some reason you want a specific model of giant branded stem, but just in case you're not aware, you can buy any brand of stem just make sure it's the correct diamater for your handlebars (they are fairly standard). You should be able to find some colour that matches close enough if concerned about that.

If you buy carbon you need to use a torque wrench when tightening up the bolts.

Sorry if you know all this and want that particular brand of stem.

Hey

Aye it’s just to match the spacers on the bike they are an odd shape would mean less messing for me to just replace with a giant one.

I bought a 90mm stem from Cyclestore in Congleton, UK. I was passing there during the summer so collected it but I'm sure they can post to Ireland if they have stock.

be careful buying anything from the uk where the seller is not familiar with the correct labeling and declaration. customs is a nightmare

I can have a look when I'm next out in the shed. I replaced my od2 stem when I changed fork and headset. But presume since its a stock stem that it will be 110..

Gerry

found it. its 90mm @halfmoonbeam .

Ah sound what is the exact model ya have? Just to make sure it fits.

so its from a giant xtc - so when I read through the ad, its not going to fit your bars. As its for 31.8mm mtb bars rather than 28.6mm road. sorry.

When I went looking I did see a few places with these stems available - https://www.thebikeshop.ie/product/giant-contact-stem/ you could try these folks based in wexford.
