As a casual biker, will I really need to adjust the seat height? Is the point that the
seat may slip down and then freeze in a spot that's too low for my body?
Perhaps at some point you will replace the current saddle with one that has a slightly different rail-to-saddle-top distance. Or perhaps you will suffer an injury or age-related change that limits your knee range of motion, requiring a shorter crank arm and different saddle height. Perhaps you want to sell the frame to someone else who needs a different saddle height. And so on…
