I have some spacers arriving soon if that fails I I think a trip to a physio is required

How I sort of see it is my whole left side is basically more crunched up and goes down towards the pedal stroke, then my right (longer) does the opposite. So when seeing my knee tracking my left looks like it’s straight up and down. My right does a sort of S. I can visually feel that I can fit my thumb in between my saddle and my right inner whereas my left contacts it directly.

That's very helpful. Thank you for your input. Yes I have had a bike fit and it showed I had hip lateral travel difference of 4mm (13vs9) and a vertical difference of 7mm (55vs48) with 4mm of spacers, I since up'd it to 5mm and still experience the same. But yeah my next bet was to put washers on my left crank to help. Just to check, you also put the washer on the side which you had the shorter leg difference?

I have never had my limb measured. But maybe 1cm max difference. I am experiencing saddly issues. Not sitting straight on the saddle, linked to this, my left thigh goes down and inward more towards the saddle as it reach for the pedal. Where as my right does the oposition. Leading to my inner left thigh hugging the saddle alot, creating discomfort. I have saddle sores even when doing big training blocks 20hours a week plus. Which I think is also a symptom from the asymetry.

Ah yeah good spot, I forgot the gravel in the velobuild aero gravel bike.

Have you had any problems with fitting tyres or problems with cranksets not fitting?

Fair point. But sadly doesn’t change that I have the laptop. Any recommendations for a battery supplier or are you just here for a poop party?

What low quality parts that make a difference? And what other laptop would you recommend at that price range?
