Hey guys I am in need of some help. I have a 2002 Giant OCR 1 and it has an adjustable stem that I cannot stand. I wanted to switch to the 3TTT Mutant Quill but I am having some sizing issues. Here is the link to see what I am talking about.

You can see that each stem has various lengths. How do I measure my current stem to order the correct length.? Should I measure from the center of my bars to the center of the headset? Please help so I can order the correct stem. Thanks in advance for all of your help!!

I believe all stems are measured center to center, regardless of make.
