Ability to sustain power over duration of activity (if you are uncomfortable, all adjustments while riding rob you of power--not to mention the pain)
If you find the right fitter, it's a great investment. The hardest thing is wrapping your mind around the cost, but one way to think of it is how much you will save on other "solutions", for example: New bib shorts to address your saddle pain, New saddles to address saddle pain, New shoes to address hot spots. Plus lost time off bike while things heal up.
what is a reasonable price to pay for a fitting.? I was told 125.00dollars. I have a Fuji 1.3 Altamira 2016. Store keep said 45 dollars extra do to bike geometry?... I dont get it
