I'll caveat this with I've done a fair bit of searching both on here and other resources but can't find exactly what I am looking for. And to make matters worse, the more I search the more conflicting information I find.
Problem; road Bike fit is 9/10, only issues I currently have is glutes get tired on long rides (i am working to strengthen off the bike) and i could use a little less pressure on junk on longer rides.
My solution was to swap my Fizik Antares for a specialized power saddle with the hopes to address issue #2 and allow me to spend more time in the drops without my junk bothering me.
I've ridden a power saddle on my MTB and love the feel on my sit bones so I thought this would be a no brainer. Only problem is even with my cannondale seatpost for my hi-mod with the 25mm setback, the seat rails don't allow me to move the seat far enough back. This puts the effective sitting area 30mm forward of where my old effective sitting area was with the Antares.
I've done a KOPS measurement and my knee is about 1/2"-1" forward of the pedal spindle.
Is this going to drastically alter my fit and cause issues? Or will having the effective sitting point slightly forward help to alleviate some of the glute issues? What are the downsides to this I need to look out for?
Thanks.
