An incorrect position on the bike, an unsuitable adjusted bike or even the wrong kicking technique can quickly take the pleasure of cycling or turn a triathlon into a nightmare. Every person is different, the ideal sitting position is a very individual matter.
We are convinced that a computer program can never replace our experience but also not really respond to your individual needs.

FAQ Bikefitting
What can I expect from bikefitting by Tempo Sport?
We rely on our many years of experience, our very trained eye and the conversation with the athlete. Every person is different, so we take care of you individually. Without a big laser show or the false accuracy of many measurement data. With us, the bike fitting includes the adjustment of your seating position, always adapted to the intended use, possible complaints and your wishes for comfort. An important part – and here we stand out from most other fittings – is that we work with you on your pedaling efficiency. In addition to the seating position, this also has a lot to do with the understanding and concrete implementation of the pedaling technique. We implement this together with you. After all, what’s the point of the best riding position if you can’t get the power onto the road?
Why doesn’t Tempo Sport rely on the help of computer programs, video recordings and performance measurement?
Not only do we have a very trained eye and a lot of experience with countless athletes, but we also don’t see the direct benefit of most measurement data. On the one hand, every person is different, has a different athletic background and different demands on the seating position (comfort, aggressive race position, etc.). In addition, before/after measurements often don’t make sense, since you first have to get used to a new position. But more importantly, based on our experience, we have seen time and again that the greatest gain comes from the correct implementation of an efficient pedaling technique. You have to implement this first and an immediate measurement effect would hardly be observed.
What results can I expect from bikefitting at Tempo Sport?
After countless bikefittings, which we were allowed to perform with various top athletes, the most frequent feedback is that the athletes are more efficient on their bike and feel a difference in training and competition. Of course we also support you with seat complaints, questions of comfort on the bike or very basic position adjustments. However, we do not rely on a computer program but on our experience. In the foreground is the realization of the individual goals of the customer. And above all, we always focus on the total package of seat position adjustment, material and pedaling technique. This is what sets our offer apart from many others.
What our customers say
I was very successful last year Ironman in Zurich, became Agegroup winner at the 60-65J. Ohne das P3 wäre ich kräfteraubender gefahren und hätte wie früher länger gebraucht für die Umstellung aufs Laufen. Deine Sitz- und Lenkereinstellung mit den Trittinstruktionen waren für mich goldwert, verhalfen mir auf Anhieb zum Ticket nach Hawaii.
Almost two weeks ago Andy and I were with you on Saturday mornings for a seat analysis. Now that I have been on the road a few times, flat and mountainous, I can say: SUPER! Unbelievable how much safer I feel on the tri bike. I’ve been constantly focused on ‘swipe off feet, knees in, our backs round and arms bent’ and I think I was even a bit faster! So, thank you very much. More infos after the competition!
Today, I was on the bike you set up yesterday. And it wasn’t just any training, but a quick double training: 1h bike, with 10km full throttle and then jogging. Und es war nicht irgendein Training, sondern ein schnelles Doppeltraining: 1h Rad, mit 10km Vollgas und anschliessend Joggen.
Well, René, it was perfect: the position aggressive and yet extremely confortabel, no pulling neither in the back nor behind the neck, just awesome! And I was very focused on pulling and i had very fresh legs when I switched to the bike. Und ich habe mich sehr darauf konzentriert zu ziehen und prompt beim Wechsel auf das Rad hatte ich sehr frische Beine.
Believe me René, this is not a “placebo” effect, it is in fact a completely different and absolutely satisfying feeling on the bike and then during the run. Great, thank you very much!!!! Super, vielen vielen Dank!!!!
In April of this year I was with you for seat position analysis on the bike. Das ist nun gut zwei Monate seither und in dieser Zeit habe ich mich während dem Radtraining stark auf deine Tipps konzentriert, sei dies Aeroposition, Kopfhaltung oder Trittbild.
Of course, I was curious to see how and if this would affect the 180 km of bikes at Ironman Switzerland. And behold, I was able to improve my time on the bike by 10 minutes compared to the previous year!!
I never thought that your technical tips would bring me this much and finally be so clearly reflected in the cycling time.
A BIG THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMPETENT TIPPS!
