I'm not a specialist, but I dont think so. You handlebars should be more a less the in line with the outside of your shoulders. The stem is there to set your body position. I dont think the stem needs to be longer or shorter. But... that only a opinion

out of interest......why do u think a longer stem might be needed? maybe a shorter stem would be more beneficial??? if the bars are as wide as the shoulders already, then making them narrower may necessitate using a shorter stem.........i dont know the specifics of the situation but it sounds to me like there would be no benefit in a stem change.

Hi Trackie, I think you read my posting wrong. My comment was " I dont think the stem needs to be longer or shorter". cheers
