I never thought this is an issue until I read this

I did the test and my saddle seems in the 'aft' position (the weight is 5 cm behind the ball of my foot). The problem is my saddle is already at the most 'fore' position with no room to go any further (but there is room to go aft). My bike is a folder (Decathlon b fold 7). Any suggestions?

    How tall are you?
    What length cranks?
    Knee over Pedal Spindle (KOPS) is a starting point and is not super critical, esp on a folder.

    Do you have an inline seatpost or a layback, if its layback then replacing with an inline will move the saddle forward by 20-30mm (depending on the amount of layback).
