When installing trekking bars how does one compensate for the loss of reach? IOW, if you have a 100 mm stem on a mountain bike and install trekking bars with the controls on the nearer bars, you effectively decrease your reach by 100 mm. That seems problematic.

How is this normally handled?

By changing stem length.
