OP back again. I've made some adjustments since the last video:
-Saddle is up significantly
-Cleats more forward (they were all the way back before)
-30 mm longer stem. This is a 120 mm stem (I realized that the original was actually 90mm once I took it off).

This feels quite a bit better. Looking at the video I still need to improve core engagement and flatten the back more but I feel much less cramped.

I also experimented with all the spacers out, but that gave me a little saddle discomfort. I also have a 110 mm but didn't get a good video yet.

Here is the new video:

Is this looking better? Feedback appreciated.

I think that it looks good. My only quibble is that if it were me, I'd lower the seat some, not because of your knee angle at the bottom of the pedal stroke, but because I like more heel drop at the bottom of the pedal stroke. But that's just me.

BUMP!

I apologize to the OP for hijacking his thread. I will resist the urge to make any further comments.

No worries Fredo. I am a just a simple guy trying to get a decent fit on a road bike, but am still interested in the intricacies of Tri fit.

I'm reposting my last update on the new page since it got cut off at the bottom of page 4. Happy to hear any more input. Sparks thank you for feedback, I will try a smidge lower.
