That's how far I adjusted my saddle's fore-aft position. And
suddenly, my bike went from fitting reasonably well, to fitting
perfectly.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I also realized that while one of my feet is 2 sizes smaller than the
other, the cleats on my shoes were in the same place on both shoes. I
moved the cleat back on the shoe of my smaller foot, and the pain I've
been having in my big toe went away.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Life on the bike is good right now.

This too shall pass 🙂

(I often try small adjustments and they feel great at first, but then stop
"working". Not sure what that's all about...)

How do you manage to do that? In my experience fiddling with a saddle's
position runs something like this:

<loosen bolts, jiggle saddle, saddle is set in concrete>

Nope.

<loosen bolts, jiggle saddle, saddle is set in concrete>

Nope.

<loosen bolts, jiggle saddle, saddle is set in concrete>

Nope.

<loosen bolts, give saddle a big whack, saddle shifts about three feet>

Hmmm. I think it was about there...

Just for the record, nothing I wrote was quoted in the above.

PS: Can relate to the saddle positioning adventure, at least.

I'm really needing to do this myself. My problem? The MTB shoes I
have don't have quite enough tread to walk without scraping my cleats.
Or, to be more accurate, the screws on my cleats. So, I'd like to
adjust my cleat position. But I can't because the hex head on the
screw is in really bad shape.

Time to buy new shoes.

Now if I could just get around to rewrapping my handlebars. And fixing
my brake hood position. And changing my cassette. And my chain. And
building a new rear wheel. And putting a new set of blinkies on my bike.
And cover that ding on my top tube before it rusts... more. And get a
new front tire since I think it's getting kind of thin on the tread now.

Is it bad when you have to unclip and kick your front derailleur to get
it to shift down?

Man, I'm feeling like the poster child for bike neglect.

I'm no expert, but I'd have to say yes, that's bad.
