This is an important issue:

Many people have one leg shorter than the other. Many people do not have one of their femoral joints uniformly in their respective sockets. Most chiropractors are not licensed to deal with these issues, and the people who have the skills to correct some these issues are a rarer species. Most of us are unaware of these things and then one day we have aches and pains, a knee that is unlike the other and so on.

I know that I tend to ride on the right side of the saddle. I know that my right leg is putting out slightly more power. I know that leg is a little longer than the other, and I know that its femoral ball tends to go slightly out of socket. How and why I know? ... I'll skip that here. The salient point is that I ride more on one side, and I have to keep correcting myself.

The reason for this may be that I broke a kneecap and was casted for almost two month up back in the days when physiotherapy was not considered necessary for such injuries. Recovery from such injuries is largely about retraining the brain. Years later when I studied dance, my instructors could see the differences between the two legs — something only a trained eye would have noticed.

I think such issues have to be considered. As for what yer tackle has to do with it ... well it shouldn't if the saddle is adjusted properly, and if you are wearing the proper clothing. That's why I don't consider myself a Fred when I'm in Lycra with the foundation chamois thing underneath. It's just the correct gear on a sports/racing bike. Of course ... YMMV

Great new forum BTW — THANKS TOM!
