Or you need a longer stem/bike so relationship wit BB stays the same while being able to stretch out
Hulsroy-
No I'm quite convinced my position compared to the BB doesn't make sense. With my rudimentary physics knowledge I understand it like this: Moving further backwards increases the length of the lever arm, increasing the torque that keeps me upright, reducing the force my arms need to provide to keep me upright.

Inspired by @PhilDAS I've moved my saddle a cm backwards and it feels good I think? Slight elbow annoyance is gone, but in return I got a minor niggle in my knee. Maybe because I didn't account for the saddle dropping slightly, or it might just take some getting used to it. Further experimentation necessary. I thought I'd want to bring my bars closer to keep the reach the same, but it actually feels like I could do with a longer stem now.
@carlosbrown it definitely is
