  • I agree anyone could call a bike fitter but I'm not sure they'd get free advice without a prior relationship. And if they did, the advice would be a lot less tailored because they wouldn't know the setup they were dealing with.
    In the same way I expect I could call a random cycling coach during one of these things and get some sort of input but calling a coach I had worked with for a year would be a lot more useful.

  • But it’s not calling a friend. You’re calling them as a business. You’re previous relationship means they would and could offer advice.

    Would you then consider it ok, if the person paid the fitter a small fee?

    Or is it that they can offer personalised advice?

    I'd say you were getting a service that others couldn't get precisely because you have a previous relationship.

    But could be one to post in the TCR facebook group and see what other people think?
    I'd do it but I'm weaning myself of the FB habit - not been there for about three days...
