After that I coasted a little and with my heel on the pedal my leg was straight. I went about a mile and after a concrete joint I heard something and saw my knee was bent again. I stopped and checked my seat stem and it had slipped down. I put it back where it felt right and tightened the cam a little. It stayed after that.
The index on my stem was at 2 when I started. That is where it was in the pic where y’all said it looked too low. It ended up at 6 where it felt right.
I did 6 miles and felt great after instead of having leg fatigue. I think my seat has been dropping a little over time.
I still haven’t adjusted my stem height.
