My shorts have gone bobbly on one side

My shorts have a bobbly patch where I presume my right thigh rubs the side of the saddle. They've only done 120 miles so I presume it's my fault. What am I doing wrong?
- Saddle not straight?
- Seat post too high? low?
- One leg longer than the other (my right foot gets a bit numb, left hardly at all)
- Too much turning left?
(I did an anti-clockwise circuit tonight)

Or your saddle is a bit too wide. I noticed that with Team Pro on my road bike, and B17 on my tourer. To do with angle of your legs relative to the saddle and body.

I did put the saddle up 1cm which felt better i think. Didn't exactly examine the shorts after the previous ride though...

Same here. Altura gel shorts started bobbling within a couple of rides - these are the only shorts I've ever had bobble. I nearly returned them but didn't get round to it.
a serious case of small cogs
Maybe i should check my seat angle, i thought i felt it move a touch nose down at one point...

That's a good suggestion! I do have one and did take it off and re attach it recently.
I also stuffed an extra cereal bar in it down the side.
Maybe it's sticking out on one side a bit. I'll check!

The saddle fore and aft adjuster can stick forward of the actual saddle and cause that annoying wear.
Dont wear expensive shorts is the only answer on those .
Never had issue with the road bike.. and I tend to ride heel to toe in so can be really close to the top tube.

I think my (minor) foot issues are due to cleat position and me getting used to things. My assumption at the moment is that since I have short toes the ball of my foot will be relatively far forward so I've adjusted the cleats to be forward of the mid-point. I'll see how that works next time.

ditto - I have the same with my Toppeak saddle bag. There is a bit of evil uncovered velcro on the left side which rubs the inside of my shorts. Since covered with a matching bit of velcro which has reduced the rubbing.
