After that is trial and error with minor adjustments: if the saddle is a problem your butt will let you know in due time and then the trial and error process begins.
The saddle i read in the forum was loved by many did not make friends with my butt and viceversa. Some people go through half a dozen saddles before finding the right one, some other are lucky and get it on the first or second shot. Biggest YMMV in bike riding in my experience.
Yep! I spent the money and spent a few hours at the LBS going through the fitting and all of the computer measurements and experienced eyeballing. I agree, it was worth every penny.
Although, he said that he wouldn't have put me on the frame that I have, that I was too crunched up. He did a bunch of things to compensate for it and it made a big improvement. I should actually go back and ask what frame he would have put me on and if that will make any difference now that we've tweaked my bike out.
