yeah Dosh, if the stem is comfy and works then keep that **** on there because your bike looks better than sex. As long as you are comfortable and feel like your are getting the power down, then that's all you need right now, you figure stuff out as you go. Recently while racing it blew my mind how just telling myself to spin faster, not harder made me so much more smoother and faster feeling on the track. Racing is addictive as ****.
