    Are you toeing down too much on that side?

    Is your saddle height set more for your long leg, leaving your short leg having to ride toe-down to reach the pedal efficiently?

    Is your leg-length difference more than 1/4 inch? (most people have about 1/4 inch difference between left and right legs)

    Finally, my wrists took a beating this time. A few places there were some rough patches on the trail and the bike bottomed out and I didn't see it in time to adjust my hands and my wrists were the shock absorbers. Ouch, ouch, ouch.

    Are you locking your elbows?
