stem angle & drop. help me out?
I just bought a new frame and am trying to size it correctly.
Right now I have a 110mm -6 degree stem installed. Currently the reach to hoods is correct, but I'm about 2cm too high.
Since I have no more spacers to remove, I will need to use a different stem
Would a -10 degree 100mm solve my issue and give me an extra 2mm drop while keeping my reach intact? Or would I be looking for a -8 or even a -17?
thanks for any help

Or if thats too hard:
Better option: Buy a few of the $5-6 Easton stems on jensonusa and experiment.
Best option: Buy a Specialized stem that is continuously adjustable from -8 to -16 degrees in the length you want and tweak it until you nail it.
