CUSTOMER REVIEWS

July 2019

Comparing Richard to my other expensive bike fit – he emphasised the difference made when the bike fitter is truly ‘great’.

I’d only just bought a tt bike. My aim was to qualify for Kona in Ironman distance races. After the fit, I was genuinely comfortable over 5+ hours. Couldn’t recommend Richard more! His personal experience with professional racers made for interesting chat too!

Really good bike fit session – actually fun! Richard was thorough and really took on board my circumstances. He had a great understanding of my injury issues and was very knowledgeable and informative. Very highly recommended.

Richard understood exactly what the issues were with my TT position within a few minutes of walking through the door. The video feedback showed the major differences a few minor adjustments can make. Unfortunately now I have no excuses for not performing!
Richard knows his stuff and is also a bloody good bloke, look him up if you need a bike fit.

Great session this morning, while we made small improvements I felt my position and interaction with the bike were transformed, I got into a much more aero position AND more comfortable. Above all Richard is a treasure trove of information on bike setup and racing due to his many years of experience working with top athletes – I learnt more in 2 hours than over the last 6 months!

I spent three hours with Richard working on my road and TT bike. He is absolutely an expert in his field. I took my road bike out for the first time since the fit yesterday and it was like riding a new bike. My new position reduced discomfort and maximised power output. I felt like I was floating up the hills and still felt fresh 100k in on a challenging course. Highly recommended.

Wanting to upgrade my bike and sort out some neck pain I was experiencing on long rides a friend recommended Freespeed. Four months on and I am free of neck pain and thoroughly enjoying my new bike. I wasn’t sure if disc brakes were the way to go but having tackled a few horrible downhill’s I haven’t looked back.

Freespeed was highly recommended to me by a few friends after my complaints about problems with lower back. Richard not only fitted both my bikes but also corrected my posture and gave me a few tips about aero position as well as position on my road bike. The outcome was a powerful ride on the following day on my tt bike and guess what – no pain!

My new bike was fitted but just didn’t feel right. It looked an OK fit on initial scan. This is where Richard’s expertise and knowledge came to the fore. A couple of cleat position changes and a couple of really useful technique changes saw me set 8 Strava PR’s on the ride home & continue to set new ones. Feels perfect now!

Richard not only adjusted my bike to fit my size, but he corrected posture, gave tips on positioning to avoid back or shoulder aches on long rides. He was extremely thorough and not only used the latest technology but understood how best to interpret its results.

Richard explained everything in detail, but in a simple way which was very easy to understand. His depth of knowledge and experience, concerning cycling and triathlon is superb. It’s still very early days adapting to the new position, but I can confidently say that I already know I will be cycling faster. I cannot say enough positive things about the bike fit with Freespeed and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richard. Money wisely invested.
