I’ve had the new Carrera Subway Ltd out for a test / adjust 15 miler today I.E adjusted the gears correctly, seat height / length in relation to my position over the bike and a few little tweaks here and there.
I’ve came back and the base of my spine is killing me as well as some numbness of the hands (don't get this on my other bike), which would indicate to me the front section of the bike is way too low for me and I’m applying too much weight there.
I think the cure will be to change the Stem for a one with a bit more rise in it, but which one should I choose? Should I go for a solid one with a bit more rise like this one below

or shall I opt for an adjustable one like this

and are these adjustable ones pretty strong? as I don't want to find a little while down the line they snap off (I've seen a broken one before)
many thanks in advance
