The thing with bike fit is that there is always room for improvement and more knowledge. For instance, I recently did a fit with a guy who had been fit using the Retul method. He was complaining of knee pain and lower back pain. The Retul fit had put his saddle height 2.5 cm too high, and he was reaching to the bottom of the pedal stroke. Thing of it is: he thought it was good, and he was fast and powerful, and that the pain was just a side effect, something he had to work through. I've fit many riders who thought they had a proper fit but had still had pain, and often their set up is wildly off, to the point of being damaging to their bodies. I'm not saying I have all the answers, or even most of them. I am just saying there should always be room for a second look, and certainly always a place for improvement.
