Never noticed any pain and doesn't effect power output even after riding over 110,000 miles. can you discuss recommendations for a slight leg length difference?

The PT has the skills to determine if he is OK prior to the bike fit. I would think the dude is already in good hands. Besides, how many MD's specialize in bike fitting? PT's are more likely to get it. Spokewrench: Looks like the customer is already seeing a physical therapist that understands what is going on.

I have been riding for years with a dropped right hip, as a pro triathlete this really limited my TT ability as I was unable to find comfort and stay in the TT position for extended periods as well as developing server lower back pain later in my carer, thankfully I saw a big fit legend who lives in Australia, comes to the US on ocassion, I was a rider in constant lower back pain and through radical thinking and change I have found my power, and comfort to have improved out of site. I cant thank Steve Hogg more, no lower bakc pain, can sleep at night. I would absolutely recommend people to see this guy, many pros have seen him and all I can say the proof is in the pudding.

This fitter needs confirmation that it is not a ruptured disc or less serious condition but just as painful piriformis syndrome.

Because my right leg feels shorter I tend to favor it by sitting more on the right side of the saddle which means I cant fully reach with left leg (foot isnt parallel, heal is slightly up).<br><br>My question is, do I stack my left cleat so that they are equal or do I stack my right cleat to correct it? I am a Cat 1 cyclist racing in Europe and don't have access to the proper facilities here. Thanks.
