Anyway, as Lazerxzr mentioned, changing reach and changing stem length isn't exactly the same. It's why I hesitate any time I'm considering trying a different bar. Lowering the bars is also different, and doesn't always require an adjustment in stem length. Look at a side view picture of a cyclist to see how it's not as drastic as you may think. You may end up with a little more or less bend in the elbows, or you may need different parts. It's hard to tell sometimes.
