I did ordered a longer stem like 110 cm and greater angle to increase reach a bit and to increase handlebar drop to improve aero. Stock stem is 80 cm. Given that 110 cm stem is not unusual either and many road bikes do come with 110 cm stock stem length.
Do you have your saddle higher than the handlebar? And did you have to move it higher when you changed out for the longer stem?
