Hi guys

I’m struggling with pain and sores around my left sit bone, and and L/R power imbalance of 45/55 ish… My bibs also wear differently and excessively on the left side.

I suspect that I’m not completely symmetric, and/or my left leg is shorter than my right.

I have installed a 2 mm shim under my left cleat to balance things out, which feels better on the saddle, but the imbalance increases to 43/57, still in favour of my right leg, and my left leg feels a little bit “blocked” when pedalling, however without pain in any of my joints so far.

Has anybody got any experience with this, to determine if I am off track in my analysis?

For reference, I am scheduled for (yet another) bike fit, but it is not possible until the middle of June, and the discomfort is increasing.

This is not something new, and I have addressed the issue during previous fits, but all conclusions have been, that I don’t have a leg length discrepancy.

Thanks for your insights.
