"Careful if you're hamstrings are too tight, the back is forced to flex where it does not want to,
leading to swollen discs."

Not an MD but have had a broken back, discs don't swell. They can be misplaced and bulge but
cannot 'swell'.

Don't be so sure of yourself. Interlaminar tears and avulsions can lead to swelling, just like
anywhere else. However, I don't think this is what OP was talking about.

I probably need to do that. One issue is that I'm currently using a RockShox road suspension
seatpost to soften the bumps on my poor spine, therefore my saddle height is a bit nebulous,
although I know I get about 1 cm of compression while seated. I've always gone with a SH of about
79, with a PBH of about 91.

I know that an inch or two behind KOPS is good for me - maybe if I went with KOPS that would help
straighten out my back.
