Bike Fit Etiquette

[marni]

when I got my bike fitted, it was made clear that the fit was guaranteed for 6 months and that I could come back in as often as I needed to tweak it until it was perfect.

As it turns out he got it right the first time, but offered me a free fit when I got back on the bike after recovering from an accident and my position had changed somewhat.

I guess it all depends on the bike shop and fitter.
personally I bribe my bike guys with homemade goodies a couple of times a year.

Yes, indeed. I am guilty of being nice, errr bribing. In fact it's about time they get another batch of brownies from me. They are looking far too fit already

I pizza and a six pack, that goes a long way!

You should not be feeling pain after your fit. It may take time to become accustomed to your new position but it should feel generally pretty good.
Certainly no pain.

As the others mentioned you should go back to the fitter and have him work with you. If he is a professional he will give at least some follow up especially if you are having problems.

Oh and defiantly bribe your fitter. Primo beer, homemade brownies, cakes..

I took my shop ice cream. It's french pot, made in Cincinnati and sold in Denver. I felt like a cheapskate though, it's only sold in quarts and I think they deserve gallons!
