“As far as I understand your seat hight is your seat height and is a function of how long your legs are…therefore should not change with the seat tube angle”

I read once that there is actually a formula for this. I think(but can’t fully remember) that it could be a 2:1 ratio. Shift your seat forward 2 cm and raise it one cm. The M2 Racer Power Module seat shifter that I just purchased has a built in compensation that as the seat is shifted forward the seat is also raised slightly and vice versa. I don’t know what ratio it uses.

Anyone have any insight into this??

Critique: First of all, you’re sitting on your saddle incorrectly. Rotate your hips forward. That will take the stretch off of your lower back and, consequently, allow you to flip that upward stem down to level and get a lot lower position. This will take some getting used to, and probably mean a saddle change, especially if you are using a flite or slr. Try something like the azoto.
