Help! Stem size.
Anyone have any idea what the size of the Giant Escape 2 stem is? All the website says is that it's "Giant alloy", not very helpful. I'm trying to get a new stem cap for my bike, is it 1 1/8? Thanks.

see if they list the headset size. A cap is included w/ the headset not the the stem. id say there is a %97 chance that it is 1&1/8.

If you are purchasing a "blingy" anodised stem cap , remember it is for looks only and should not be used for setting the stem. If your old original stem cap is ok, use it to set the stem then once the stem bolts are secured, replace the stem cap with the blingy one.
