 Try playing with bar position (front to back) and seat hight/position first. For me I found kicking my bars a bit foward and droping my seat 1/2 inch to an inch helped me some. You never know 'till ya try. Just take allen keys with you when you ride and tweek things a lil bit.
 And practicing never hurts. I know some people that can jump on any set up and ride it.

 It just takes time and repetition. Stay with it and you will figure it out.

Get the A-Damn Pro and I bet you'll have no problems anymore. It's one of those bikes where all of the practice comes built in. I think they bond the practice to the frame during the heat treating process.

technically your frame can't be too big and too small at the same time.

The only downside to the "ProBonded" process is that if you accidentally scratch or wear down the paint, it can let the practice out and that isn't covered by warranty. Reason being that you shouldn't ever have to ride your bike other than in your contest runs. But if something unfortunate happens to your bike, you can always send it back to KHE to be rebonded for a fee.
