Don't throw good money after bad.
Make a change by investing in:
- Clipless pedals
- Good clipless shoes
- Good tires
- Saving for a non-entry level bike
Man, you will be totally amazed when you ride a mid-level bike. Your head will asplode when you ride a high-end bike.
I know it's tempting to tinker. We all do it. But, don't devolve your bike by adding a quill stem.
All signs point to this being a bad idea. If you still do it, there is no helping you.
