I currently have a 120mm stem, and I feel too stretched out. In fact, I know I’m too stretched out. Would it affect my handling if I go to a 90 or 100mm stem? My understanding is it should actually help my handling. In reality, it can’t get much worse. What say you?
Sounds like you have already figured it out going to a 100mm or 90mm won’t make a huge difference in handling, especially if you are more comfortable.
How did you arrive at putting the 120mm stem on there in the first place?
Was stock on the bike… it used to be ok before I flipped the stem, took out spacers, and started going on much longer rides.
