The nice (well, nicer, anyway) guy in me says "Well, you may be an outlier; someone with unusual issues, who lucked into a truly knowledgeable and experienced fit expert who was able to solve real problems with real knowledge. But few cyclists have unusual issues, and perhaps even fewer will be lucky enough to find someone who really knows what to do about them. The great majority of cyclists will be able to sort out their own issues on their own, without having to wade through the the pack of charlatans who make up the majority of today's bike fitters."
Did he swing the cat clockwise, or counter-clockwise?
