"Actually you are the first person to bring up this issue"
Jobst says:
people talk of hanging off the back of the saddle to
achieve a lower center of gravity,
Nothing to do with lowering the CG, rather moving it aft to increase the
"rider-to-pivot-point" lever arm, thus making it harder to endo. Admittedly,
the CG does get lowered a little, but it's really about shifting weight
backwards.
