Why do you want a shorter stem?

mr joey

Just feeling a little streched chunkers i get bit of a sore back but didnt have this problem on previous bikes and they had shorter stems on

do you have riser bars? If you do tilt them back and measure by how much and see what happens to your back.

Yes but if your ETT is shorter you may need a longer stem to simulate the riding position of the others, is the bar height the same?

mr joey

Yeah

Have you compared the top tube + stem length of your old bike and new bike?
It may be worth rolling your bars back, mine are only 10mm rise and it still makes quite a difference rolling them back 5 degrees.
