  • Not KOPs, that setback depends on legs. Hence moving the saddle down and foward when you go midfoot, you've effectively shortened your pedaling leg length.

    For me it's more about how much knee is bending and hip angle. Arms/hands come into play later.

  • When I did midfoot I actually had to put my saddle back rather than forward, and a long way down. While it's not very intuitive, apparently that is not uncommon.
    If I'd just shunted my saddle forward, by the same distance as from ball to midfoot, to keep my legs moving in the same pattern as before, I 'd have been way too far forward with loads of weight on my hands.
    It might depend on leg length and how much set back there is to begin with.

  • "The saddle was dropped and moved forward and I cycled whilst Scherrit eye-balled the position. The saddle was raised a bit and moved further forward and the bars were dropped and the position was retested."

    Guess it will just depend on where your position was to begin with.
