In the past S******** has offered what we call a Rider Fit Profile for $150 (refunded with the purchase of a frame or complete bicycle) that we would use to guarantee “accurate” fitting. The problem, even when it cost $150, was that customers would always try to measure themselves without any help and the measurements would always come out wrong.
Well, now that the Rider Fit Profile is free, the amount of shitty measurements coming in has skyrocketed. Go figure.
Here’s my new favorite:
