Saddle sores/pain on only one side can be caused by a leg-length discrepancy. But I am sure there are many other causes.

Good luck!

Well, here's something interesting I discovered while fine-tuning the fit of my new B.67S (Brooks) saddle:

You know how the clamp for the seat has ridges for adjusting on both sides? Well, if you get the left and right side adjustments off by one notch, or a half a notch, or somehow just not exactly seated right on both sides, then one side of the saddle ends up a small fraction of an inch higher than the other, and one side can get sore from impingement while the other side is fine.

Ask me how I know.

(of course, a leg length discrepancy can do it, too)
