Thanks but there is nothing there I don’t already know and do to the extent possible. Saddle position is good, and I use that same test. Bear in mind I ride SS on platform pedals. I push through the bottom more than most folks think is possible without clips. Still the physics requires a counter force on the bars or I will push off the back of the saddle. Same as a sprinter reaches a point of pulling up on the bars. It’s that level of effort I’m talking about. The one that can lift you out of the saddle. You may be able to manage torque, power and cadence differently with a geared bike, so you may be able to avoid this more.
