I'm also going to try dropping the saddle a bit more and see what happens. A rider in my club noticed a few months ago that it seemed like my saddle was too high--and I had been riding it like that for about 400 miles--so that could have been an issue too. I always used Sheldon Brown's method for determining saddle height--raising it too high intentionally and then dropping it incrementally until you no longer have to weave back and forth as you pedal--and have heard that this can result in a too-high saddle position.

And it's nice to know I'm in good company in the leg discrepancy club!
You may want to read this article as well. I got a lot out of Steve Hogg's website. https://www.stevehoggbikefitting.com...ard-can-it-be/

Also remember, if you went from a modern saddle to the B17, and did not lower the seatpost, it most likely is too high. The B17 sits higher above its rails than many other seats, so you generally, not always, need to drop it when switching from another seat.
