Has anyone had a bike fit?

[Binky]

I'm still getting back into the swing of cycling again after a few years off the bikes, I'm older, heavier and less bike fit than I was, and also riding riser bar bikes while my drop bar road bike is gathering dust in a corner. I'm considering a bike fit to get the most out of my cycling and to possibly iron out a few issues I'm having.

I've noticed there are now quite a few people offering bike fitting services, from the expensive to the not so expensive, from specialists who do nothing but bike fits to bike shops who also offer it as one of their many services.

Has anyone had one? What did you think of the experience? Has it improved your cycling or solved any issues you may have had?

I had a bike fit by Hewitt Cycles as a part of the buying experience some 25 years ago, it made some changes to my position which I didn't at first like, but ended up changing other bikes to match.  That's an issue with trial and error, you will resort to what feels familiar, rather than what might be best.  Years later I tried the guide linked below, and it came within mm's of the Hewitt fit.  Both professional and guided need to be taken as a starting point, rather than an absolute, we are all different, though not as different as some assume.
