lately I have been feeling like im sitting more on one side of the saddle, I keep getting a saddle sore on the opposite side. I also dont feel like both my legs are equally planted to the pedals..... do u think saddle rotation can play a part in this? I recently have been testing saddles and have been really trying to keep it dead center, but am thinking it might have been off a bit maybe because I never had this issue before.... this is really getting annoying!! I am scheduling a refit on the guru machine as welll

Have a physical therapist check you for a leg length discrepancy, upslip, or pelvic rotation. What you describe is what our bodies do to adapt to these things. Also your saddle is probably too high.

in my case, this was corrected with shims/wedges. no more saddle sores--yay!

shocker, your body isn't symmetrical. a lot of people, myself included, feel more comfortable with the saddle offset by a few mm to one side or the other. also, I know that my left side of my body is physically smaller than my right, including strength, size, leg length, foot size, and so on. this is the rule, not the exception, but most people don't get it or don't want to admit that their pelvis isn't perfect. it isn't - it never is. in fact, if you had a perfectly symmetrical body, you'd literally be a freak of nature.

forget the refit and play with left right rotation, height, and fore/aft tilt of the saddle a bit. you might find your sweet spot without spending the money.

remember the best guy to fit your bike to you is the one riding your bike . . . YOU! learn what they do and you will do a better job, at least on your own fit, than anyone can.

it could also be uneven cleat positions maybe the fore/aft position can make that feeling happen. cleats that are more towards the front will require raising your saddle height and vice versa. now if one cleat is more forward and the other is more back youll get that sensation of needing to be on one side of the saddle.

I actually prefer to have my saddle pointed a little to the left of center. You may be the same.

I intentionally point my saddle to the left and I ride a Brooks B17 because it compensates for my crooked body. You will get saddle sores if you have a seat that doesn't fit your body.
