I need to have a play around with saddle angles and possible stem lengths #euph
I think I'm putting too much weight onto my hands

I'd say sort out the saddle angle and the lever angle first before worrying about changing any components - saddle nose up and levers in line with the tops will probably help bucket loads. The stem length on there at the mo looks pretty good to me anyway, and the Vai's a layback right? It might be better to just get an inline post if you feel you're too stretched, as that should allow you to get further forward without affecting the handling to poorly (as long as the nose isn't over the bb/pushing your knee over your foot too much of course)
Worst bit is that I can knacker myself out far quicker with using gears wrongly than I can riding fixed.
