You can get a fancy computer for that, but I have a simple inclinometer which is nothing more that a level (with a bubble in it). I believe it's called "Sky Mounti" and is made in Germany. I know some LBS's carry it, but I ordered mine on-line from Circlecitybicycles.com. Cost is $25.00 plus shipping. It does not fit oversized handlebars (which I have) but I just got a couple of longer screws and added a piece of handlebar tape for padding and it works fine.
