People tend to imagine that their bike should be symmetrical or set to some geometric formula. This concept is destroyed by the human body's refusal to be symmetrical. Have you noticed your saddle twisting to one side over time? That's your body adapting the bike to you, and there's nothing wrong with it. Similarly with brake levers. My Shimano 9 speed levers wind up twisted inwards to suit my hands. My Tektro SS levers, modelled on the more modern style of lever, stay straight. To a certain extent, you need to allow your bike to work out what suits your body. It's unlikely that you're blessed with a perfectly straight and symmetrical body so don't force it to conform to some geometric ideal ... pain is the result. The trick is to work out what to live with and what to address with bike setup, and this, Grasshopper, is why bike fits based on formulas or other generalised theories are only useful to get your initial starting point.

OMG, my first post in this forum and I've committed heresy already
