Can you cite a source showing which pros live religiously by KOPS and axle blocking? Most pros, 1's and 2's I have talked with actually had their saddles forward of KOPS and didn't give a hoot about the axle.
Also, most fitters I know charging hundreds for a fitting have been doing it for longer than I have been riding a 2 wheeler. Not that a pro fitting is required, but most of these guys don't remember how to flip a burger because they've been playing with lasers and computers for so long.
This, by the way, is coming from someone who has never gotten a pro fitting and DOES live by KOPS, but that's just because my knees demand it. I got more power when I was 1 cm forward, but that does no good when you're sidelined for months due to ITBS.
