click I get it

I had forgotten the fundamental indicators.

And have been fighting a back spasm.

Thought it was the Jetta. Nope

It was the Surly post slipping down 5mm (the gap I leave before the blinky light clamp). I thought it was not right, didn't feel too bad but also, fuck I'm an idiot for not remembering the correlation with this pain and that post issue. 

So 

#1 if the lower RIGHT side back/butt hurts, that's from riding cranks that a are shorter than 180s.

#2 knee pain happens when seat is 4-10mm too high

#3 LEFT SIDE pain like #1 is from seatpost being 4+mm too low. 

BUT it takes LONGER for #3 than either #1 or #2. #1 is after one hard ride or two easy rides, #2 takes a handful, three+ long rides but they can be spaced apart. #3 takes a while. But also takes a while to fix.

I guess#4 seat too far forward and the lower back fascia ties into knots that is the worst of all. 

So, I took the post out because it was almost seized. Didn't want to over torque because I've broken bolts and clamps. But have to go above spec to get it to hold (~12nm.)

Dumb.

Feel like I wrote this all before and forgot.

Also dumb.

Maybe I'll remember and maybe my back will start feeling better soon.

Heddwch
