Flipping the stem to raise the bars

I need to raise the bars on my road bike to try and get more comfortable. Ideally I'd get back to my LBS, but I'm pushed for time at the moment, so that's not going to happen for a few weeks. However, I'm wondering whether I can just flip the stem - it's the standard Cannondale stem that came with the R700? It looks as though it should work... any ideas??
Cheers, Mombee.

    yeah - that will work fine and is the intention of the stem - no probs (as long as there is some slack in your cables to allow you to do it - which you won't find out until you try!)
