Thoughts on KOPS

I've been experimenting with different fore/aft seat adjustments lately. I had been trying to get all of the weight off my hands by moving the seat aft, all the way to about 4 inches behind KOPS. It worked as far as removing weight from the hands, but cost too much in terms of power. Now I'm back to KOPS, and feel like I can really create more power, especially when climbing. I'm going on a longer ride (about 70 miles) tomorrow, to see how the hands feel.

Has anybody else tried getting that far aft? It felt like my body's CG was right over the BB. Now it feels like it's more over the pedal as I'm pushing downward, which I think is where the extra power is coming from.
