Totally agree. Had my new MTB done last week.They now use lasers and cameras in the setup. Great when they play back the before and after on the TV.

I did the Retul fitting at Bike basement in Rivonia. A bit expensive but the best service and fitting experience i have had so far. The 3D tracking tec is just above any other fitting system it gives you reliable and repeatable data that no other system can match. If you are looking for just a fit the other fitting systems will probably be fine but if you need a perfect fit i would highly recommend Retul.

Have a look at this, it would be interesting to see how close it it to your current setup

I have not tried it myself, but the Concept Cyclery in Waterfall can do the whole Body Geometry/Bike Fit thing...

I would of tried it by now, but they only do it during the week, during working hours

About two years ago i setup my bike using this system and worked perfect. I was doing about 6 hours a week. I started taking it a bit more serious this year and was spending 12+ hours a week on the bike i developed severe back pain and messed up my patella tracking after 2 months of intense therapy and not getting back on the bike i had my setup checked and it was close but not quite there 5mm here and there really makes a huge difference. The adjustments made related directly to my injury and I haven't had any problems since.
