Well, I just measured saddle setback and found it fully a cm or more back than my already far back normal measurement of 3 1/2" (71* sa instead of my others' 73) and I changed that. I'll see what a bit more forward does. And, I adjusted the wheel circumference measurement; not by a huge amount but probably by 3% which will make about half a mph at 16-19 mph cruising speeds. And, probably, the front and rear panniers make a difference in the breezes we always have (they were unladen today).
