Bike Fitting
Improve Your Comfort & Performance
Regardless of what type of cycling you enjoy, you'll benefit from a bike that has been properly adjusted to fit your body and your riding style. Our certified fit specialists will discuss your cycling history and goals. We'll then work with you to determine your ideal riding position.
With a professional bike fit, you can be more comfortable, more efficient, and more powerful on every ride. You’ll also be less likely to sustain injuries on a bike that has been expertly configured to meet your needs.
Bike Fit Options
Whether you’re on a brand new bike or you’re looking to shave seconds off of your next race time, you can benefit from a professional bike fit. Learn more about our fit services and schedule your appointment today.
Basic Fit Issues
Bike fitting now focuses not just on body type and position, bicycle size and type, but also looks closely at a person's flexibility, previous injuries/surgeries, past cycling experiences, and future cycling goals. There are also tremendous differences in performing bike fittings on a man or a woman. Flat Tire Co. offers services starting at $50. Call 724-691-0966 to schedule today. Please arrive 15 minutes early and bring your riding gear, shoes, and pedals.
Advanced Fit Issues
We are partnered with UPMC Sports Medicine Cycling Performance to help you get the most from your ride, whether it’s on the road or on the trail. If an injury or problem is identified beyond our capability, we work with Matt Tinkey, MS, ATC, PES. Money spent on your fit at Flat Tire will not be lost. Together we solve the most complex fit issues. These services are available at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex located in Cranberry, PA.

If the Shoe Fits
For maximum power transfer on the road or trail and for exceptional comfort on a spin bike, we recommend clipless cycling shoes and pedals. With stiffer soles and the ability to click into and out of your pedal system easily, cycling shoes make your ride and your workout more efficient, more effective, and more comfortable. Never get stuck in a toe cage again!
