Is this OCD?

Of course it is. But I just can’t get a saddle straight. Asymmetric eye sockets. Or something. I can’t drill a straight hole either.

Roll your eyes. Laugh out loud. It’s ok. My only other option that I have resorted to (more than once) is I have to ask my wife “is my seat straight?”

I'll be the first to roll my eyes. If you were really OCD, you would be getting exact measurements of each leg length and adjusting your saddle to match that variation. I was told decades ago that I sit to one side on my saddle, and I do. Oh well; it's comfortable.

Are you thinking of adjusting one of those Batman stickers now?

Yes. I discovered I botched the install on the non drive side one. That’s what I get for “eyeballing” them…

Now that I’ve thought more about it, I can’t hang pictures on the wall either. At least, not without my wife’s help.

Better get a level on that calendar too.

I often get the stem alignment slightly off with the bike in the stand.

I do the final tightening for the stem while straddling the frame. Otherwise it’ll end up “off” as well if I try doing it in the stand.

I once took a fresh build up to WI to ride with a friend. I'd left the stem slightly loose intending to do that but forgot about it. We were ten miles from his house when the stem came loose and of course I didn't have the tool to tighten it. Got a nice walk out of the deal until we found a farm that had the tool. Now I tighten them up in the stand.
