Yeah, seems to be a very blurry line with no clear answer. Interpreting the rules literally he could pay the fitter a token £1 for the advice and it would be legal as long as the fitter is happy to offer similar advice to other riders (though obviously this advice would be near useless as the fitter knows nothing about the setup of the other riders). If he's not paying extra for the advice it seems like it'd be illegal.
But that is a very stupid way to determine whether or not something is allowed.
