I recently moved the saddle back about 4mm and up 2mm. I'm feeling more hamstring engagement and I seem to be slighty faster and slightly less wiped out on rides. This could all be imagination. The one thing that is certain is to constantly test bike fit because out bodies are constantly changing also.
