Hulsroy-
Bodes well for my career in politics.
I am tentatively disagreeing. I moved the saddle backwards on the assumption that I need to sit further behind the BB, the increased reach is a side effect. I just got my 110mm stem, so I can see if the same position on the drop bar bikes plays well with a 25mm longer stem.

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.
