Hi!

I want to offer bike fitting in my shop. My business partner is a framebuilder who's already been using Bike CAD for years. I've looked into the fit advisor and understand the basic concept: it offers a static fit recommendation that should then probably be tested and refined as a dynamic fit, e.g. on an adjustable fitting bike. The documentation of Bike CAD does not cover the dynamic fit part at all (not really the scope of this application I suppose), and also gives limited information about the static fit. There are four recommended fit schemes, and then users are encouraged to develop more based on their own "fitting philosophy" and experience. What would be a good place to start to learn more and develop such a philosophy? ;) Or what would be a good way to get started by just using someone else's? Is there a community of Bike CAD users sharing (or licensing) different config files, so that others can benefit from their experiences? I've been looking into alternatives such as bikefitting.com or Retül. They are designed to "lock you in" inside their ecosystem, so they're probably not the place to look. I know that Retül has a detailed "textbook" which describes various principles and methods in the bike fitting process in detail. Is there something more "independent" or openly available that Bike CAD users have good experience with? For example some websites or books. This does not have to be available for free. I've looked for books for quite some time, but couldn't find anything that goes into enough detail to teach bike fitting on a serious level.

Looking forward to your responses!
