Pro fitting vs. dialing it in yourself
Anyone have experience with pro fitting vs. do-it-yourself? It's taken me dozens of rides and several weeks, but finally I think I've hit on a sweet spot with cleat, seat, seatpost, stem, bar, and armrest adjustments. Maybe a bit harder for me because I am converting from road to TT setup (Cervelo Soloist w/ reversible seatpost).
As the optimal TT fit became dialed in, it was like the bike "disappeared" from under me and I was left only with O2 and lactic acid limits. In road setup this opti-fit sensation seems much more a melding of body & machine.
Anyone think a pro-fitting would get me that much closer? For those riding a single do-it-all bike (for economy more than strategy), does it work OK to record your TT/road setups and convert back & forth?

Being fit is worth it. At the least it will help you learn...
After a while you will be doing it for yourself and others...

OK, thanks, good to know. Pro fitting it is. I'm assuming you will pay extra (double?) to get both road and TT/Tri fittings.

+1 for going to someone who knows what they're doing. I thought I was pretty well dialed in before, but the difference in power was quite significant.
Re: paying double: Depends on the person doing the fit, I guess. I got fit for my road and tt/tri bikes at the same time and he charged me his usual fee for a single fit.
