I ride with my feet pretty much parallel to the ground, certainly not tippy-toes.
Anyhow, merely flipping the stem might be all I need--or failing that, getting a 17-degree stem? You guys just made my day!
Don't forget when you flip the stem, the reach gets shorter, about a half cm. That may be good here.
