guys, can a short stem "ruin" the handling of a road bike?
9cm is not that short but putts the handlebar a bit behind the front hub and when i am turning at low speed after a few degrees it feels heavy and the handlebar and wheel wants to turn on its own somehow (i'm probably not explaining very well)
for the record, before i had a 12cm stem and dont recall this happening, but i was tooooo streched thats why i changed to 9,
