I’ve noticed I consistently seem to bend my rails -2% to the non-crank side, due to more pressure on the non-crank side compensating for the pressure going into my crank. Anyone else have this issue? Just got a new saddle and realized what has occured.
I’m afraid saddles are consumables.
It’s one of the first things I check in a bike fit.
Even well made saddles are usually only good for 18-24months
ISM and Specialized Power trade durability off for certain design elements so rarely last anywhere near that long
You may have a leg length difference, or a functional difference. Could be pelvic skew. Or just be hard on saddles. But it’s clearly something you will need to keep an eye on.

Very good point in terms of saddles being consumables and having a shelf life. I do believe there’s a lot of truth to that statement. I’m wondering if I have a pelvic skew or perrhaps it’s just shit form. Lol. When I look at my sitbone sweat spots on the saddle they are not symmetrical, which is unusual. The imbalance is more pronounced when I’m not in aero position and sitting upright on harder efforts on Zwift.
