Do I need more/less reach?

I’m planning on switching to shorter cranks in the near future (currently 170mm) because I have shorter legs and longer torso than normal, I and I want to dial my reach in at the same time with a new stem if needed.

I don’t really have any problems with my current reach/don’t feel stretched out, but when I get into a lower position I feel a little cramped, as if a slightly longer stem would help, but I’m not sure. My bike came with a 100mm -8 stem.

To me it feels comfortable and I’ve done a few 50-60 mile rides on it so far with no issues, but I’m still not sure I have the right size. I have slightly shorter legs/longer torso for my height so I feel like like my fit is never perfect on any bike.

I rode in every position I’d find myself in on a long ride, the first two being the most frequent

I have a shorter inseam than average for my height, so after testing many bikes ranging from 51cm to 54cm, I found most to either be too cramped or have a more upright position due to needing to sit lower on bikes in my size. I landed on a 54cm soloist and dropping the stem, which feels really good so far after about 300 miles. Is there anything that should be changed? I’m thinking about going from the stock -8 stem to a -12, but I’m not sure yet.

Even when the app is closed, permissions fully restricted and while not riding, the app is decimating my phone battery to the point that my phone can’t even manage to get a full charge while charging over night. Phone goes from 80% to dead in just a couple hours while not even using it and every app is closed. The only fix is deleting the app. But with the Bolt3, the app is required to save and upload rides (also had problems with uploading rides)

I’m saddened because I really like using the bolt on my rides and I like the way it displays information and gps, but with not being able to upload rides half the time and it decimating my phone battery, I am considering returning it and trying something else.

Does anyone have a fix for this?

Trying to upload a ride to strava in the history tab. Ive tried restarting the app, restarting my phone, deauthorizing and reauthorizing strava connection, elemnt off/elemnt on. nothing works. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

Oh yeah, tried to transfer the fit. file via usb to my pc, but apparently that feature has been discontinued even though it is advertised within the app.
