Free-Flite Bicycle Fitting and Technique Instruction
Riding bikes should be fun, but discomfort and injury can get in the way. At Free-Flite we work with you to get you and your bike dialed in to be comfortable and meet your goals. Those goals may be to get faster, cover more distance, keep up with your friends, win races or just enjoy riding more. We can get your bike dialed in to the millimeter and give you the knowledge to develop good techniques to achieve more with your bicycle.

- Knee pain
- Back pain
- Foot pain (neuroma)
- Cramping muscles
- Upper body/arm/hand fatigue
- Leg fatigue
Our Fit Process
Our fitting service begins with an in-person interview to assess your goals & challenges. Then we begin the skeletal and range of motion assessment. Next, we gather the geometry measurements from your bike(s). This data goes into regenerating the WN Precision CAD Blueprint for your bike. This blueprint provides precise measurements for the cleats on your shoes, positioning of the saddle, & the reach from the saddle to the bars. As we apply all these measurements, we will work with you to set the height and rotation of the handlebars as well as the positioning of the brakes and shifters. We will dial in every touch point to your range of motion and style of riding. The entire process takes 2.5-3 hours for the initial session and a follow up session is included.
Knowledge Is Power
Technique is important in every sport and cycling is no different. Riding a bike is more than just mashing on the pedals and we can help you understand how to reach your full potential. We couple bike fit with technique instruction because this has provided the best results for our customers for many years. During your fitting session we will teach you the fundamentals of cycling technique and the science behind it. You will leave with a better understanding of how to make more power while riding and decrease the likelihood of injuries.
