I have a three year old desalvo CX bike that is mannered like a gravel road type bike in my opinion. I put hydro Shimano on the bike and the long hoods made me have to shorten the stem from 110 to 90mm. It was a big change but it converted it from a road feel to a MTB feel when riding (especially with 46cm bar)
That said, I woill probably look out for a 100mm stem to get it back to feeling like the nice balanced all rounder that it is.
With the 90mm stem, I raced a technical course and it turned out to be a great choice...
