cleat and bike position - Check
Yesterday I went to Trak cycles to have the cleats set up properly on my shoes and to check bike setup. Good news is my cleats were out of position (a reason for my problem) and bike setup was good. Interesting setup. The fore-aft fit of the cleats is done by hand with ruler and texta, the angle and float of the cleat is done by the pedal/computer.
The computer in the bottom of the pedal detects the neutral position of your foot as you pedal, then it calculates the devation from this. It turns out that I needed 3.2 degrees of angle on one cleat and 2.8 on the other. My float was only .2 and .5 degrees so grey cleats are suited to me.

how much was this service? I have often wondered about the bike fits offered by bike stores. Particularly when purchasing a bike as it is often a case of fitting the bike to the user rather than the user to the bike (in the first instance). Obviously this is because they want to clear stock from the floor.
I had found a service called 'bike to fit" (Think it was anyway) that had a mechanic and physio doing the fit...It was $200 though.

The pedal fit operation was $55. Took a solid hour too. The bike setup was exactly as they left it, so that didn't cost anything.
If they spend a reasonable amount of time with you, then I guess costs like that would be expected
