Subject: RE: Bike fit - How much and how often? kproudfoot - 2007-03-19 9:12 PM No sure about the how often but in dallas a bike fit is less than $75 for an aero fit. The $75 fit offered by the bike shop you linked to is a very basic fit, one which I could do in my garage in about 5 minutes. Even the $150 fit from that shop doesn't cover nearly all of the details a lot of shops offer in complete fits. Shops around here use lasers to track the knee glide, heel movement etc. They use power meters to gauge how much power you're applying at different fit points. There's more I can't recall at the moment. The point is. You can pay $50 for a stand-over, saddle height fit or upwards of $250 for an all-out fit. Depends one how important it is to you. Personally I paid full-boat for a fit on both my road bike AND tri bike. I did however get a discount since I purchased the bikes from the shop where I got fit. Also, make sure the person doing the fit is Certified. The people at my local shops pay big money to go through specific Fit schools to receive certification. |
