Hulley,

Just what type of "Pro Fitting" are you talking about? Are you doing a Retul fitting or is it one of those that use a bunch of different measuring devices? If you are doing a Retul fitting, make sure the fitter is certified by Retul. He should have his certification hanging in the fitting area. This is required by Retul. If you aren't aware of the Retul fitting system, it is the computerized system that is used by all the professional cyclist, including Lance Armstrong.

A Retul fitting takes about an hour a fitting and can take several weeks to a few months and anywhere from 3 to 6 fittings. When I did mine, it was 4 fittings in three months. The first fitting is for a baseline where the computer captures all the information about how you ride, sit on the saddle, pedal and everything else, including hand pressure on the bar. The rest of the fittings are to see how you are riding with the last set of adjustments and if more adjustments are needed, they are done then. You continue this until you are fit to the best its going to get.
