I recently started riding clips and had to move my foot position more ball-over-axle because the cleat only moves so far back. I actually found myself riding a bit more forward on the bike, I think, because even though my feet had shifted back, I didn’t have to ride with my heels down as much as I did on flats, so the two phenomena seemed to cancel each other out and i think not having to drop heels as much had a more pronounced effect. Another interesting observation was how quickly I adapted to the new foot position. The first ride I thought there was no way I could ride like that, but after just a few rides the new position felt natural. I figured I was much more stuck in my ways than that haha
