You might want to pick up some Nite-Ize rubberized bungees to help you hang
that bike a little bit more delicately. Also you may want to put some
leather conditioner on the brooks to see if it can be adjusted more
smoothly. Just some suggestions. Good luck.

Hey!
I have a leg length discrepancy of about 10-15mm. Ive tried different
things but im currently riding a 165mm crank for my shorter leg and a 177mm
crank for my longer leg (Rene Herse Cranks). Ive only experimented with
this on one bike which I ride clipless. I also always have the saddle
Definitely have a similar tilt to both my current Brooks b17. One saddle
actually has a bent rail from a trip over the bars but I really don't
notice the asymmetry when riding

What Benz said. I use flat pedals and running shoes and drop the saddle low
enough to match my short leg so I don't have any input on fixing the issue.
My saddles get sideways and I keep riding!

I'm not Joe, and I don't have legs asymmetrical enough to require action;
but I've seen people get fitted with spacers in between shoe and cleat, to
make up length for the shorter leg. Obviously, this will require clipless
pedals and I don't know if your dad rides with them.

This is good info. One of his legs is longer than the other so I could see
how that could add a tilt to a saddle. Joe, do you have any fit suggestions
for different length legs?

HI,
Well used Brooks Saddles are never symmetrical and perfectly flat across the
top.

I may have been that way since day one. I had a Brooks B-72 that was a
little off from the start. Some leverage can be applied to straighten it
out.

I think you're right about improper saddle height, which is leading to the
exaggerated tilt to the leather (I don't think it's the rails) and his numb
foot. I have a slightly shorter left leg and my saddles get a lesser
version of this tilt as well; what I think is happening is your dad is
