It might. I think that the handlebar height is likely the largest cause of pain in my neck. I have only managed to get one long ride in on the bike since I swapped the stem and bars, and so far the added reach hasn't helped much.

I've set the bars up to the maximum my current adapter will allow, which is still a 7cm difference between the saddle and the handlebars. So, I'll see how that feels. I think the extra 1cm I've added to the stem will be negated by the amount I've raised the handlebars.


Planning on riding my mountain bike today, but I'll try to record some more video tonight and get an opinion on the current position.
