hello all,i found a bargain on the net a full carbon 3t stem for 40euro,the stem is 100mm and my current stem is 110mm ,when sitting upright with my hands on top of the bars by the stem i lean slightly forwards,im assuming a shorter stem will put me in an upright position which i believe would be more comfortable,am i correct,i should also add this is my first road bike only two weeks old,ive been riding a sirrus elite for a year now,im a sciattica sufferer only when im in the saddle for hours,i like to sit upright occasionally and stretch my back which seems to help ,so am i correct in thinking a shorter stem will be better,or would 10mm difference even be noticable anyway,thankyou
