Why do you do this? Are you riding differently depending on the weather?
Beats me why. Maybe because in the winter months I ride less. I ride slower and more upright. So a tad lower saddle might just feel better for a slower relaxed ride. During the warmer months, I'm usually riding pretty hard. Even when I go out and try to do a slow relaxed ride I usually find myself making a
PR for that ride. Higher saddle height goes hand in hand with faster riding IMO.
