definitely. just from bike photos of everyone's bikes on the site, it seems lots of people points their saddle down too much, which can cause wrist pain.

also, though your stem may be too long or short, etc... your saddle might be too far forward or backward in the rails. i measure mine by dropping a plumb from the front of my knee and having it line up with the ball of my foot when my pedals are at 3 and 9. make sense?

that competitive cyclist link is rather comprehensive, but just from the colorado cyclist i got a great measurement for my saddle hieght, which is perfect with 170 cranks. i'm 6'4" as well. however, i noticed with my longer cranks, i obviously needed to lower the measurement accordingly...
