Should I lower it all the way or just halfway to start?
Anytime One makes a change in posture/position, it will fell STRANGE, at first... If the Change feels good immediately, you WERE prolly very far off !
So, not going into frame sizing rabbit hole... working with what you have...
If the saddle Height is now working for you - WHAT is it about the Stem that makes you want to make a change ? Pls explain...
Some riders do well with No Drop/even saddle, some do well with lots of 'drop', some ride with very high bars...
WHAT are YOU trying to have happen with your 'position' ?
Without actually being/riding with you, an 'internet fit' is really quite difficult and sometimes not going in the diirection desired.
Tyr, letting us know, what you want to get to/have happen...
Ride On
