I think I'll try lowering the seat a little and see what happens. I was also trying to keep my heel lower. I think I do tend to point my toes down slightly which I can see might tend to push me forward some.
If the bottom of the stroke is pulling you forward, then you just need to push forward with the same force at the top of the stroke. Bottom is a hammy move, top a quad move, evens out. Quads and hams should cramp at about the same time.
