Simply a reminder... a 'fit" is NOT something that generally happens in one visit. Sometimes, people can communicate enough to the fitter, and couple that with the fitters experience and they do hit it right the first time. Generally, however it's something that is a process, and that process involves alot of communication.

Regardless of whether the person is new to the bike/sport truly has nothing to do with it. An experienced/knowledgable fitter will know which questions to ask so that they can make the adjustments for that particular person.

Suggestions are wonderful, but the end all is the communication between the cyclist and the fitter. As they say" communication is what makes the world go round" and in this instance it's the most important part of the fit process.
