Retul University

This post was originally written in July 2011 but never published.

Today was the 1st of 3 days of learning at Retul University at their Denver location. I had read about the Retul 3D motion capture system over the years and thought it was pretty cool. Let me assure you, after today I know it is. Check out http://www.retul.com/ for the finer details. Usually when I go to a fit school there are 12-25+ people there so you don't get the full attention that I feel you need. For these 3 days I am the only student here. There is no waiting for my turn or listening to somebody ask the same questions again and again. It's nice.



Above is my fit. We fit the only test subject we had (me) and recorded my coordinates with the Zin digitizer measuring tool (see video below).







Below are some of the high profile riders who have been Retuled.











Below is there saddle wall. There setup looks pretty cool.

Tight Squeeze

Yes, we work on recumbent bikes every now and then. With our tight service area we have to find unique solutions. Today Joseph had to stand on a bar stool to adjust the rear derailleur. Oh well, it works.

Chrissie Wellington in Fairhope, AL

Yesterday Chrissie Wellington stopped by Page & Palette on her book tour. It was a great opportunity for the local triathletes to meet a champion of this level. Here is a photo of her meeting the whole Pro Cycle & Tri crew.
