How long is your stem - something shorter may mean you are not as stretched out - although if you need a riser, you may be hooped.
do you wear padded gloves? are your grips soft or hard? I was going to ask about bar ends, but persumably they would stretch you out even more.

I went to a LBS and they sold me on an angled stem/riser thing for $90! It didn't make much of a difference and I passed the point of returning it. I think that I could use like 3inchs higher on my hands for long distances or I end up riding with my hands so I can give my body a break.
Should I be trying bull horns, new bar, or ?
Thanks in advance
