I mostly have more of a dimple on one side of my brooks which is what made me think it was some kind of body alignment thing and not just an over used knee. I'm just having a hard time getting the seat low enough for my left side without making it too low for my right side. I've ordered a different saddle (ahh, just after getting my brooks broken in nicely) to see if that makes a difference in how I sit and align. Supposedly this saddle flexes the two sides separately so it might help with keeping my hips the same height? I can return it if it doesn't help. Don't know what else to try, it is a recent problem, been riding with no issues for a long time. Might see a chiro for an alignment check.
