How to measure Nitto Stem extenson?
I have a Technomic. From center of bolt head to center of clamp, measures 8.5cm.
They only make 6,7,8,9, etc. cm stems from what I have seen.
What am I doing wrong?

If you pull the stem out most Nitto's have the sizing marked on the lower half of the quill yours is likely a 80mm stem since that was the most common size for these.

Here is a diagram on the Nitto website showing how they measure stems.

Thanks. That is great. Where did you find that?
I was measuring from the center of the bolt head, along the top of the extension, to the canter of clamp.
I will measure it the way they have it in the picture. Thanks again.
