I'm terrible with Giving all the info.
Would panniers effect bike position?
As I mention I started properly cycling again in April last year, before that I was still getting miles but purely commuter miles, I had 2 panniers, the left side had clothes in, the right pannier has 17" laptop, d lock and various other bits.
When it came to cycling without panniers I was all over the place.
I've since been balancing the panniers out.
Could that also cause an imbalance riding with a very heavy pannier on one side?
Re the 165mm cranks and the 5mm power effective saddle height. I found it ok coasting and hardly using any effort, but if it came to any slight inclines I just felt that I couldn't get the pedals around and even stablise myself.
In the process of moving house so it's making it hard for me to set the turbo up and do a video, perhaps I'll manage today.
I'll try shimming the left by 2 then 4mm
Power wise last check FTP over 1 hour was 287W, the rides I've been doing I've not been able to get power down due to bike instability and average power of 200w which is an easy ride.
