I'm not a bike fitter, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night ...

A bike fitter might have some pertinent knowledge about how brakes affect bike fit (or other things that affect bike fit, such as flexibility, strength, etc.), but the bike fitter in this video talked mostly about general cycling issues (maintenance, cost, weight, weather effects, etc.), so I'm not sure his opinions on those matters carry any more weight than others with cycling experience.

On the other hand ...

High end carbon bikes with the latest carbon wheels, electronic shifting and disc brake group sets are mostly ridden by dentists and accountants, so maybe I should consult my dentist before my next bike purchase?
