Jim Kozak, Owner of Cyclemetrix
Jim Kozak is the owner and operator of Cyclemetrix in Dalton Gardens, Idaho. He’s the only authorized Retul bike fitter in all of North Idaho and Eastern Washington. Last weekend Jim officially fit me on my Quintana Roo CD0.1 triathon bike. Jim says he made “moderate adjustments” which in the end, will help improve my power output and ability to run off the bike.
Retül Technology is a cycling specific motion-capture bike fitting system designed to provide qualified bike fitters highly accurate and comprehensive bike fit data. The goal of Retül technology is to assist bike fitters in making objective and accurate fit decisions. A proper bike fit is the most important factor for optimal performance and efficiency, injury prevention, and comfort on the bike. A proper bike fit will provide a rider with the most economic means of expending energy. A proper bike fit will also prevent pain that is common in the knee, hip, and lower back, particularly with riders who are trying to adapt their bodies to the bike they already have purchased.

Four days and counting until Timex Camp 2013. This will be my second year attending as an official member of the team and third time overall. I’m very excited to see all my new and returning teammates. Camp takes place at the Timex Performance Center in Newark, New Jersey which serves as the home of the New York Giants professional football team.
