I've been battling some chafing issues lately primarily on one side only. I know this is a symptom of a leg length issue but I want to attempt to sort it before $pending my precious cash on a fit.

Time in drops vs hoods is literally 50/50, last year it was more like 75/25 but as I ride more I began to develop more core strength and neck shoulder muscle (or resistance to the pain of being hunched over and lifting the head)

I feel great in the drops which makes sense because my pelvis is rotated and I have less pressure on my actual sitbones and more on the rami or what have you when the pelvis narrows. I'm wondering if this could just be an indication to move the saddle rearward? Lowering the saddle is not an option, I was riding about 1.5 inches too low to ease the pain. I decided no more and have dialed it in to where its bearable but not yet perfect. I'm on a specialized power atm. Average ride is 25-40mi roughly 200 mi per week depending on weather. Just looking for a suggestion on where to proceed.

Thanks for all the replies I get whenever I post. I know there are some goofballs out there but this site has been very helpful for a novice. Only have 24 months under my belt road riding.

Edit- Forgot to mention I'm using SPD pedals with shimano RT82's. I eventually would like to switch to a speedplay pedal but I already had the pedals from a previous bike I owned a few years before and a guy on craigslist happened to have the shoes damn near new in the box for $50. Money is tight this year in the family.
