I’m not going to jump the bike, I’m just looking for comfort.
If you think changing your bars to CF will improve comfort, you are wrong. A different bar might be more comfortable but not because it is CF. And no, you don't need to get a CF stem. I have an Al stem and CF bars with nearly 70K miles on them. Zero issues.
