Mine are getting a bit rusty and unsightly. I want to replace these with some new stainless ones. Are they all a standard size?

Mine is a generic Specialized stem that came with the bike and is about 4 years old, so nothing too obscure.

    No they are not a standard size.

    My Specialized stem uses M4 at the front on the handlebar clamp and M5 on the steerer.

    Which has to be a little weird. :roll:

    If you're going to replace them, might he worth a couple of quid extra upgrading to titanium.

    You will need to measure the thread diameter to see what size you need :D
