I made some positional changes to my bike this winter in hopes of getting the front end a little lower and more aerodynamic (dropped my seat about a cm and pushed the pads/extensions forward about 2.25 cm). It felt fine on the trainer, but on my first outdoor ride of the season, during a routine look back over my shoulder for cars, I completely lost control of the bike and crashed pretty hard. I had been out for about an hour and had noticed that the handling felt a little twitchier than usual, but it also felt fast.

I've been nervous to get back on my TT bike and I'm wondering if the changes I made resulted in a significant change in handling. I'm not sure if there's a right answer here, but is it a given that getting more of your weight out over the front of the bike results in twitchier handling? Do I just need to suck it up and ride more with the new position, or am I chasing marginal gains at the expense of handling/safety?

For reference, HERE is a link to the videos I posted back in February that show my previous and current positions. Thanks for any thoughts/insight.
