Subject: RE: Help finding good bike fitter You should ask lots of questions about what their fitting philosophy is? what certifications do they have (if any )? what system they use? how long they've been doing it? what kind of shop is it? how long is the fitting going to take? can you get a report of the measurements? what measurements will they take? can you come in for adjustments if you need it? are they nice or impatient? what does the fit studio look like (if it's just done on the floor of the store that's not good enough ) The key is if you're going to spend the money you should get your value and make sure you're not getting a "bike sizing". A fit should be more comprehensive and you should also be prepared to spend some money on a stem, seatpost, or misc to make the fit right. In some ways, to me, it's like finding a contractor. You can't have any guarantee the work will be done right but you can ask questions to get comfortable and give you a better chance of success. My $.02 |
