I also have not lost any angle on the seat by doing so, should I be wary of positioning the seat too far aft even if it creates a more comfortable riding position?
What do you mean by 'a very limited aft position with the nuts behind the seat post' exactly? If the knuckle is behind the post, the seat a couple of inches further aft. I don't understand how 'if I put them in front it allows for more movement to the rear' makes any sense.
Also, when I refer to a steeper seat angle, I'm talking about the angle from the BB to the centre of the seat against horizontal. 74° is steep, 71° is slack.
