ERO offers a lot of value. You start with a detailed Retuil fit in the studio and then get on the track to refine the studio fit and test equipment. The only problem with ERO is that they have very limited equipment availability. So the customer has to bring whatever he/she wants to test. So ERO may have a helmet or two and a couple of stems. When I did my testing, a couple of racing friends provided some equipment that I could try and I brought my own skin suits.
The other aspect of using ERO is that they have a huge data base of tests from international and pro teams. So they have a pretty good idea of what works and is fast. It is a matter of confirming it on individual riders.
