Should I keep the long stem on that has me pretty stretched out for road riding or swap to a stumpy little 50mm to add some off road twitch and make bunnyhopping and shit a bit easier?

Stick with what your body's used to, I reckon. What do you currently have on there?

Also, if short is better, then it makes sense to whack one on now and get used to it.

I used to swap between 110 and I think 70mm on my hardtail in Oz with no real dramas.

Yeah, some people seem far less sensitive to fit changes than others, although, as you know, that gets a bit more complicated when you spend the whole day in the saddle.

Still, having read about you doing a century ride in the wrong shoes, you don't strike me as the overly-sensitive type..
