I find myself very sensitive to slight changes in seat height on my Brompton. Or maybe it’s just that I rarely get the saddle height right first time, but by the time I notice I am well on with my journey and CBA stopping to sort it out despite either side of knee pain (when a bit too high) or riding inefficiently (a bit too low). I do judge it with finger widths when I set it but clearly not very well.
Any other tricks / solutions for quickly setting the height correctly? I think I remember something about a scribed line but I am a bit dubious about that.
