what is the acceptable range of KOP ? I'm pretty far in front of the pedal spindle in comparison to my road bikes while on my TT bike. It just seems as I rotate around the BB I'm not going to be able to acheive road bike KOP on my TT bike. What am I missing as everything else feels pretty good and seems to fit roughly within guidlines on this site. I do have long femurs.

I've kind of answered my own question. Initially I searched this forum and found different references to traditional road bike KOP as an indicator of fit on steep angled bikes also which just didn't seem possible to me in my circumstance. Basically, the tri fit was compared to road fit, with the later being the goal. After more reading and more research, I've learned, that as I thought, when I rotate forward around the BB (from my 73* bikes to 78-80* there is no way KOP is going to be the same). So, I'm about to go to bed not feeling all is lost in the world since my knee plumb line falls well infront of the pedal spindle . . .
