I also move my seat forward a quarter inch and that a big affect on the bump. If only I could solve my hot foot problem after 40 miles.
Re hot foot:

I use lace-up shoes, and I find my feet get tight and hot after a while. It's a lot worse if I don't remember to tie my shoes loose at the beginning of a ride.
