My fore/aft on the saddle though - this will also be adjusted (in addition to my saddle height) to get the KOPS you have spoken about before?
No problem

Yes. But, remember, KOPS is a good starting point, not a hard and fast rule.

There will be lots of trial and error micro adjustments. Just set aside 30-60 minutes, put on some good music, and set up your bike in a trainer. Spin the bike in the trainer with AND without the resistance unit on the rear wheel. Riding without resistance will help you feel when your pedal stroke is not fluid, which you sometimes can't feel when load is on the wheel.

After you get it set, take some tape and mark on the saddle rail where it meets the clamp. Also mark on the seatpost where it meets the seat tube. That way, if something moves, you'll see it.
