An eigth of an inch…

Well…I’ve know for quite some time that I am a little weird and I’m okay with that…but how weird was emphasized with what happened with my bike the past couple of days…the other day, I noticed that the thread had broken in one of the seams of the seat cover, so I thought I’d trade that seat out with the one from the black bike since they are identical and I can repair the seam later….so, to make sure the adjustment was correct, I measured the height of it from the bike frame and put it at the same measurement….that was close, but it was a little too high and I was stretching to get power to the pedals…so, I adjusted it down about a quarter of an inch since I know that small adjustments are all that are needed…but, that quarter of an inch lower made me feel like I was cramped on the bike so I made another adjustment between the rides of 1/8 of an inch up on the seat and it was perfect and I feel great riding again…but 1/8th of an inch? How the hell do you feel 1/8th of an inch? That is why I think I’m weird..I CAN feel that 1/8th of an inch and it made all the difference from uncomfortable to perfect….and with that adjustment, I got two great rides in today…flying on the way out to the beach with the wind and even going well against it coming back…so now you know, I’m weird….and I’m okay with that….
