If you have your body too far forward, which will probably be the case with a zero setback post, you should feel too much weight on your hands.
I do it this way also. Plumb Bob (actually a socket with a string which I tie to seat frame and hang off nose of seat. Then measure how far back from BB center) I lean the bike over sideways.....and prop it up with a piece of furring strip. Tie an old pedal strap around front wheel to hold wheel straight. make sure floor level.
