An incorrect riding position, a bike that isn't properly adjusted, or even the wrong pedaling technique can quickly take the fun out of cycling or turn a triathlon into an ordeal. Everyone is different, so the ideal riding position is a very personal matter.

We firmly believe that a computer program can never replace our experience or truly address your individual needs. That’s why, when you come to us, you’ll receive personalized advice from our experienced bike fitters during an in-depth session. For us, it’s not just about your seating position. We see this as just one part of the overall system. That’s why we always conduct a pedaling and posture analysis at the same time. So you can enjoy your beloved hobby in a more relaxed way and without discomfort. Thanks to the improved seating position and more efficient pedaling motion, you’ll also perform better on your bike while preventing injuries.

FAQ: Bike Fitting

What can I expect from a bike fitting at Tempo Sport?

We rely on our years of experience, our highly trained eye, and open communication with the athlete. Every person is different, which is why we provide personalized care. No flashy laser shows or the misleading precision of excessive data. With us, bike fitting involves adjusting your seating position, always tailored to your intended use, any physical discomfort you may have, and your comfort preferences. An important part—and this is where we stand out from most other fittings—is that we work with you on your pedaling efficiency. In addition to your seating position, this also has a lot to do with understanding and effectively applying proper pedaling technique. We implement this together with you. After all, what good is the best seating position if you can’t transfer that power to the road?

Why doesn't Tempo Sport make use of computer programs, video recordings, and performance measurement?

Not only do we have a highly trained eye and extensive experience working with countless athletes, but we also don’t see the direct benefit of most measurement data. For one thing, every person is different, has a different athletic background, and has different requirements for their seating position (comfort, aggressive racing position, etc.). Furthermore, before-and-after measurements often don’t make sense, since you first have to get used to a new position. But even more importantly, our experience has shown time and again that the greatest benefit comes from correctly implementing an efficient pedaling technique. You must master this first, and an immediate measurable effect would be hard to observe. 

What results can I expect from a bike fitting at Tempo Sport?

After countless bike fittings—which, incidentally, we’ve had the privilege of conducting with various top athletes—the most common feedback is that athletes ride more efficiently and notice a difference in this regard, especially during training and competition. Of course, we also assist you with seating issues, questions regarding comfort on the bike, or basic position adjustments. However, we rely not on a computer program but on our experience. Our focus is on helping clients achieve their individual goals. And above all, we always consider the complete package of seating position, equipment, and pedaling technique. This sets our service apart from many others.
