Hi
I have a Tarmac SW SL6 Size 52 and intend to replace stem and bar.
Now, I have a 6 deg 100mm stem with a 3T bar, 103 mm reach. I want to change to a new bar with 77 mm reach and a 17 deg stem. Do I take a 100 mm or a 110 mm stem?
Any advice on how to tackle this?10 mm stem length might be a minor thing. I am inclined to go with 110mm.
Thanks!

- I think my set-up currently is long enough. I do not want to stretch further, I feel fine.
- Applying the test of knee/elbow overlap in the down position when positioning your pedal parallel to the downtube: They definitely do. They say this is an indicator to move the stem forward.
- Looking down from my riding position at the front wheel: the hub appears clearly in front of the stem.
