I have a Cinelli 130 mm stem and I need something taller and with less reach, so I was thinking about a 50mm reach Technomics stem with my Cinelli bars or something even taller and more swept back. At 52 I don't want to lean that far over.
I can't recommend going from a 130mm stem to a 50mm one. Some think a huge jump in length is a good jump. Not so. Remember... as your bars go up higher, they will move towards you. I recommend finding a shop that allows you to swap stem and try some out. Start with a 110 or 100mm one, fine tune from there.
Look at this online tool for stem fit .
