Thanks for the response.
Probably so. The problem with measuring the degree bend in your knee is that it is very sensitive to whether you pedal heel up, heel down, or heel parallel. I would estimate that in my "normal" pedaling style my knee is about 10-15 degrees off 180.

In general, if you are changing your seat height (or any other adjustment) it's best to do so slowly/incrementally, say by 5mm at a time anyway, to give your body time to adjust. If you make a big adjustment, even if it is "correct," it may feel "wrong."
