But, but... Real Stem length doesn’t change relative to the steerer tube :-).
The change in the ETR (effective total Reach) can be very noticeable for sure!
As part of adapting to this setup I went from a 40mm to a 60mm stem on my Marin Alpine Trail (and had my most confident trips down a few double black trails on the bike - definitely don’t tell the short stem-ers, my credibility will be blown).
