The 17° stem is a good idea, but mount it so that it's level, not pointed up.
Thanks, Carbonfiberboy. The idea that I have too much weight on the bars definitely feels true to my experience. I was pushing my saddle more to the fore because I was thinking reach was an issue but now see that was probably just shifting weight on the bars. I don't yet have a setback seatpost, but I'll look into that pronto. Meanwhile, I'm going to push my saddle as far back as it goes and see if that alleviates things a bit.
