We now have right at 50 miles on the setup and I thnk I like the location of the cranks, it actually feels very good. We are due a follow up with our fitter so I will make an appointment to get everything checked out in the near future.
Great! We just try to contribute to progress and it's not intended as critisism
I suspect your new saddle->BB relationship has your seated position further back. This position will increase the utilization of glute muscles and hamstrings. Finding a good balance between that and using too much quad muscle is a key point.
Especially
when in the drops, it can have the downside of pinching the gap between your diaphragm and legs which reduces peak load efficiency due to lowered lung volume, plus it can increase your hamstring and IT tension to the point where cronic soreness develops. It can also result in a sore lower back as it makes the hips want to sag back instead of keeping a rolled forward tilt. You won't notice these possible downsides much until you are in the drops for longer and harder durations.
