Anyone have a method for determining the best stem length and rise? I’m a casual road cyclist and I feel like I have too much weight on my hands, noticable more on longer rides. I kinda feel like it should be an inch (2-3 cm) shorter, but not sure how rise would impact that. How do I go about finding whats right without trying 4 or 5 stems? Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks. This is what I am trying now. bought two cheap stems and am going to try them out. Current set up is 120mm but bought 100 and 90mm. Cost me $23. Figure I could send them back. Also trying the seat adjustment from other suggestions here. Thanks to all who responded!
