Stock stem on 50cm CAAD9?
Hi guys,
Planning to swap out the bar to a FSA compact, and to keep the reach same, I was informed [here], that I would need to increase the stem length? I was thinking of width but never gave thought to reach.
Now, this is confusing. I measure it as 90mm center to center [50cm CAAD9, 2008]. Whats confusing is the angle.
Am I correct in assuming that this would be the 6* stem or 7* stem? In other words, would a 84 degree rise be OK?
Was thinking of this Ritchey stem in 100mm. Should be OK you think?

I did mean to order the stem after trying the bar, but this was my main question:
