Wow... I wonder how much it cost to get that kind of service. Is it limited to Trek bikes?

The guys at Helen's Cycles in Santa Monica are good. They are reasonably priced and do a good job.

From what I have seen they have trek basic fit (the only thing it doesn't include is the motion capture) which is $150 and the the trek fit with motion capture which is $250. This trek fit actually seems good.

I can confirm - the motion capture was valuable at helping the tech align my pedal cleats to minimize lateral strain across the pedal stroke.

Steve at Bike Effect
Highly recommend Steven Carre at Bike Effect in Santa Monica (have not worked with the other fitter, Ron).
He is a guru, and I largely think that while advanced fitting systems are great, ultimately the fitter determines the true quality of the fit. http://bikeeffect.com/pages/fit-studio |

It will take you several drives. Took my son there - fitted him on road and TT bike over 3 months and worked on pedaling technique. |

Cool ,, does he use stuff like retul , or motion capture,, or does he just do everything by hand??
For a 1st fit a machine/Retul may be good. We wanted the more nuance/expert based hand fitting. |

did you get a guru bike fit ?? if you did how did you like it.
I got a Guru fit in September of 2015. I've been riding road bikes since 1986, and the Guru fit is the best $150.00 I've spent, without a doubt. I've never been happier on the bike. |

Still need to do mine! keep me posted brotha
5 stars on the bike fit, i feel like we could have spent a little more time fine tuning. But over all bike fit did make a huge difference with power and comfort. |
