I'm not sure if I need a taller stem or what may be the case, or if maybe my core just isn't strong enough. Im, 6'1, 265, havent been riding for quite a while and am now commuting to work 7 miles each way. I don't seem to have any other issues with a weak core though. Any advice would be great.
Sounds to me like you need to move your seat back so your center of gravity is where it should be, and not have so much weight on your hands. Now this will change your reach so you will need to adjust your stem appropriately.
