Being a relative new comer to these forums I've noticed a few people recommending that you get "fitted" for a bike, and that it can cost anywhere from £25 to £75.
Is this something that only those who are actually racing need bother with, or is it something that ideally everyone should do?
How does this differ from just applying one of the myriad of "bike fit" formulae that are out there?
Does a bike fit give you the ideal stem length, crank length, frame size etc. or is it more about adjusting your ride position?
Which bike shops offer this service?
Would be interested in the views of someone who has had a "bike fit", or whether the whole thing is just to "fit you up" with unnecessary expenditure
