That's pretty much it...you might want to make some notes for yourself on anything that troubles you on the bike. I find that notes help me to not forget anything - a good fitting is expensive and I don't want to forget anything

Socks.
A shirt (could be a t-shirt if not a cycling jersey) in case the room is on the warm side, since you will be doing some pedaling.

helmet, gloves, cycling shades...
if you will be doing any riding outside the shop as the fitter adjusts you
my guy's shop was located in a strip mall & there was a huge back parking lot I went out & rode laps inbetween some stem adjustments (besides pedaling in the trainer)
it was a 5 hour round trip drive from home so I did LOTS of laps to try & get the best jist I could without having to drive back
also, if you have any issues with your hands, head/neck, the fitter might ask what type of gear you use to see if anything else might be better for you
good luck! a fit by a skilled pro is worth it
EDIT ADD: as mentioned, shirt... & I wld recommend one of of your normal cycling jerseys or some type of fitted work-out top... it would help the fitter more easily see your body lines for posture / form as you ride & as you get measuredLast edited by Miranda; 03-21-2012 at 06:42 PM.
