You mention added “effective reach”—- but it dawned on me, recently switching to a higher-rise bar (but not 3” — I’m not ready yet) — higher rise, if you keep the bars “level” i.e., rise part vertical, your effective stem length grows. I bet the 3” rise are equivalent to a 20mm longer stem with 15mm rise bars. What I’m saying is, don’t tell the short-stem mafia about this.
