No one is asking you to buy a new frame, cut your steerer, cut your seat mast, or even change your saddle position.

You don't even have to buy a new stem. Just borrow one from a friend or your favorite shop. Hell, if you buy one, you can probably turn around and return it if you don't like it.

1cm increments are not enough to show dramatic changes. Period.. This isn't a fine-tuning adjustment.

This entire experiment will take 15 minutes.

You seem to be uncomfortable because it's not what you think you should do. Think about this, until now, everything is the sum of what you think should be done. This is external influence. It will feel weird. But, it might work and make you faster.

15 minutes. No cutting. No welding.

Breathe and relax. Sometimes change is good
