Bicycle Fit: ever had a fitting with only minor adjustments?

[7rider]

I'm just mentally preparing to make my fit appointment:

Has anyone ever had a fitting where your bike setup was satisfactory already? If so, did they still charge you the $150-$300 for the fit?

Is it better to get a fitting off season or on season? I'm a bit out of shape but I need a fitting....

Please share!

Thanks!

Did you buy the bike at this particular LBS? If so, and you just want them to check an issue you're having, they may not charge. If not, they might. Best to check with them before you make an appointment. Also...any new parts (such as a stem) will likely be at additional cost.

As for fitting in off season or in-season, in order to get the fitter's most undivided attention, try to schedule a time when they have a down-time or slow period in the shop. Any time I've had my fit adjusted on a bike, it invariably involves the fitter (LBS owner) talking with me, but also fielding questions and comments from curious on-lookers.
