Hi,

I have a TCR Advanced Pro 2 (2018) arriving tomorrow, and will likely need to swap the 100mm stem to a 90mm stem.

Notr sure on the overdrive 2, so which stems can I look at ? Does it have to be a Giant Overdrive 2 Stem or any other brands will fit ?

Anyone know the fork steerer OD etc for Overdrive 2 ?

Any advice much appreciated.

    Has to be the Giant or another 1 1/4 inch stem - Canyon also do some, probably a couple of other brands out there.

    You might as well get the cheap giant one, there is very little to be gained from upgrading stems - https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Giant-Contact- ... _74810.htm

    Thanks for confirming, and will go for the standard Giant contact stem once the bike has arrived and I've tried for sizing.

    Thanks for the link, looks a good price from there.

    Zipp and Pro also provide OD2 stems.
