That's when I discovered the I'd been riding around the last 400 miles with the right side about 10mm further away from centerline. I'm embarrassed I didn't notice it while riding, as I'm picky about bike set up. Anyway, got my bars set at 39cm width, with both sides equal.
That picture is….uh…er….speaks for itself. Surprised you didn’t tip over after you corrected it.

I too cannot tolerate any issues and immediately have to fix them 100% or kill myself in the process getting it right. Rear mechs are my specialty.
