Hello, Bikeforums!

Looking for saddle-related help. It's a long story, please bear with me...

When I bought my travel bike, it arrived with a Brooks B17. I embarked on a fairly long trip immediately (beginning of August) and initially all was good. However, recently after some 2500 miles I have developed pain in the left knee and I am 99% certain that it's due to bad saddle alignment since liquids have accumulated in the inner side of the left knee and the outer side of the right one, suggesting lopsided pedalling. Lately it wasn't feeling that good while riding either, I had to keep shifting my butt for a beter position.

So, I wanted to adjust the saddle to be perfectly centered (surely, I had taken it off recently and put it back on incorrectly) and I noticed that the saddle was crooked! He nose is going up and right, while the left hand side is sagging lower than the right one. It's not awful, and looks even better in the pictures, but still it makes straight saddle alignment a confusing task and knee problems don't make it easier

I don't think it was crooked when it arrived, but it was squeaking a lot since day one, and I ignored it thinking it was normal. I used proofide 3 or perhaps even 4 times during the break in, which may have been too much. It has gotten wet a few times, and some wet riding too. I suspect that tensioning might be a good idea, but I am not sure at all? Also, when I look under the saddle, it seems to be quite far from symmetrical.

I can't say for sure if my legs are not equal in length. I weigh around 230 pounds (not fat, just tall). I don't use clipless pedals. I rarely cycle more than 70 miles per day.

Could you advise what to do next? What do you think about the saddle? I am in Azerbaijan, where bike service is weak. Let me know if more/better photos are necessary and forgive a noob.

P.S. I did email my bike manufacturer and brooks themselves, but maybe some user expertise would be benefitial too.
