2 millimeters

A bolt broke off on my bike's seat post last week, causing the seat to slide down and causing me to ride my bike like a low rider. I temporarily repaired the seat post and adjusted it to what I thought was 69.5 centimeters - the height I was fitted at.

I immediately felt like the bike was a bit high but I thought it was just in my head. I re-measured the height and it looked good.

The very next ride my right knee starts feeling weird in a knee-injury-relapse kind of way. I rode for 3 hours Saturday and it started feeling weird also. After 2 of those 3 hours I decide to stop, lower my seat 2 millimeters, and see if it improves. Pain gone. Problem solved. 2 millimeters. I am *that* picky.
