Test Winner: Lightest Brake is Fibula from THM

Carbonkurbel Clavicula M³
Here is the spectacular result of the big test of brakes:
Tour April 2012: “The lightest brake kit saves more than 100 grams compared to the lightest large-scale production brake from SRAM Red. … THM, the German specialist in lightweight construction, uses laborious engineering procedures to turn carbon, aluminum and titanium to calipers with a weight of just 140 grams. … Everyone who likes this design can bolt this flyweight component without concern on his bike: The THM brake ensures perfect deceleration and allows finely metered braking. Ingenious are also the different leverage ratios for the front and rear side, with the front brake creating more braking power.”

Scapula F, now available for 1 ¼” tapered Headsets

As more and more Roadframes are equipped with tapered Headsets the Scapula F has undergone modification to optically suit such frames. With aid of Spina Scapula F, Scapula F gets a Crowndiameter of 51mm that ensures a seamless transition from 1 ¼” tapered frame headtube  to fork, which is pleasing to the eye and the wind. Pictures will follow shortly.

THM and "best bike in the world"

Carbonkurbel Clavicula M³

tour March 2012: By using THM components the crown of framebuilding is won by the "Storck Fascenario 0.6" in the ultimate comparison of the best lightweight frames of 2012.
Storck benefits from the THM Scapula F fork with an integrated brake and Powerarms SL cranks made by THM, which saves about 300 grams. "The integration of the brakes is impressive, it´s a show on its own: Inside of the fork legs and carbon seat stays hidden are springs that work like V-brakes, the pair weighing just 112 grams. ... Paired with the light carbon wheels from Reynolds the brakes don´t work significantly worse than common mass-produced brakes. "
All this leads to Storck having the best overall package! The lightest frameset however presented Cervelo, who also benefit from a development of the "German specialists THM" and equip their R5CA Cervelo frame with an exclusive fork from THM.

Carbon crank Clavicula M³ with SRM system excels at 5000 km endurance test!

Carbonkurbel Clavicula M³

Bike magazine tour March 2012: After a 5000 km endurance test, including the seven stages of the TOUR-Transalp 2011, the Clavicula M³ delivered a brilliant result: "The new modular carbon crank THM M³ can be combined with the power meter from SRM, and sets the proven performance measurement system on a diet." Compared to most other SRM cranks Clavicula M³ saves lots of weight and also the complete system costs less than many other SRM systems.

Clavicula M³ is our modular full carbon crank with interchangeable carbon spider. By changing the crank-spider it can be used either with a standard bolt diameter (130mm) or a compact (110mm) variant. Change the number of teeth according to requirements and terrain: 53/39 or 50/34. For improved training quality you should opt for a SRM system. No need to buy a new crank – just continue using your Clavicula M³ and you´ve got the lightest SRM crank in the world, only 740g - less than many other cranks without power measurement. The SRM system is the ultimate standard of power measurement for professional cyclists, triathletes and ambitious sportsmen. It offers the most effective way of measuring power as well as improving training quality and physical fitness. Power (watt), pedaling frequency, speed, time, heart rate, altitude, temperature, energy expenditure and training zones are all indicated in real time and stored on the computer for further analysis. If you already have a SRM system, but would like to reduce weight, just install a Clavicula M³ - the lightest SRM compatible crank. All common BB-standards can be adapted, this still holds true with our newest addition to the Clavicula family.

Test winning fork by THM

The THM fork that comes with the  test winning Cervelo R5ca impressed the testers at bicycle magazine Tour with lateral stiffness and low weight in the “Top-Roadbikes 2012” test in issue Nr.11 2011. THM also builds the lightest and stiffest fork in the test field for the Stevens Stratos Custom which enables the bike manufacturer from Hamburg, Germany to join the elite of carbon road bikes with its new topmodel.

Tour test: Winning fork comes from THM!

Tour 3

The Stiletto fork of the tour winner Storck is manufactured by THM. tour in March 2011: "Even the ultralight Stiletto fork has become more rigid at the sides and gives more comfort."

For a long time THM develops and manufactures components for several fork producers covering the range of high end design.So we co-operate closely with Storck and Cervelo amongst others. The fork of Cervelo's R5ca frame comes from THM, too.
