Yes, he did move it back, but not by quite as much.
Actually KOPS moved back a bit from where it was. Not sure why, really, other than the longer stem seems to help me sit farther back on the saddle - like I said, I'd never have guessed that, but I suppose it's the way it angles my pelvis.
I'd had the seat way forward because of the issues I was having on the old saddle, so I knew that was going to have to come back. But I wasn't having any knee issues with the seat at that height (before or after I moved it way forward), just the cramps all through my lower legs (tibialis anterior, and some deep calf muscle - flexor hallucis longus? - and the sole of the foot/big toe). Which now that I think about it, the cramps really started when I moved the saddle forward because someone pointed out I was sitting too much on the nose of the old saddle, and suggested I move it forward. Which I now realize was because it was pear-shaped and not because of the position... I literally could not get my butt onto the wide part of that saddle.
