SRM & SIBEX Sports Producing First Titanium Power Meter

Titanium Power MeterThe cycling community knows that power is the key to optimizing your training. SRM is the world leader in power meters and is the gold standard for accuracy and reliability. When power meters came out they were considered heavy and people did not know the value of them. In recent years SRM has reduced the weight in their power meters. In addition SRM has made other cranks to fit their power meters in an effort to appease sponsors and have a lighter stiffer crank. SIBEX owner Scott Mares approached SRM in May of 2005 with the idea to make a titanium crank for SRM. Mr. Mares was given the green light to make a prototype for the company for testing. The prototypes were delivered just a few months later and after extensive testing they will now be available as a complete unit through SIBEX Sports.

Titanium Power Meter“The performance of this unit is impressive.” Mares said. So how does it stack up against the other power meters? This will be offered in ISIS which will be the stiffest and lightest of its type obtainable by SRM . It is lighter than any other Shimano, Campy or standard External BB power meter combination. After testing, SRM has determined that the titanium version has an accuracy of +/- 1%. This is more accurate than the Dura Ace (D/A) version. Comparing the weights of the current models looks equally as impressive. SRM PRO 956g, D/A 910g, FSA 880g and SIBEX 810g. This means that the titanium SRM is 18% lighter than the PRO, 11% lighter than the D/A and 8.6% lighter than the FSA Carbon. In comparison , all weights included their bottom brackets. The PRO and SIBEX version used American Classic bottom brackets.

The Retail price for the titanium SRM is $3500.00 USD and is currently only available at SIBEX Sports. To facilitate pre orders of this exclusive product SIBEX is taking reservations for the Ti SRM. The reservations are $500.00 with the balance due upon shipping. SIBEX is also offering a FREE American Classic bottom bracket with this purchase for a limited time. Use special offer code IVAN6 . To make a reservation for the new Ti SRM send a email with contact information to scott@sibexsports.com.

Here's another sign, perhaps, of the rebirth of titanium as a material du jour: a titanium aerobar. To be launched May 15 by new company Aero Concepts, the new bar is the result of five years' work by its creator Steve Harad.

"I started with aluminium and just wasn't happy with the outcome. It was essentially a 'me too' product," Harad told Cyclingnews. "I began working with Scott [Mares of Sibex Sports] to produce a full titanium 1-piece aero bar. Titanium allows me to produce something that noone else has."

That "something", according to Harad, is the Genesis aerobar, an adjustable time trial bar and stem assembly that weighs just 950g in 100mm stem/42cm width version. "We want the Genesis to be easily customized to fit the rider's needs," says Harad. "We are offering both "S Bend" extensions, straight extensions, and the typical curved extensions. Our pads are fully adjustable both fore and aft and left and right by approx. 5cm in each direction. Our bar is swept forward 5 degrees and has internal cable routing for increased aerodynamics."

The tech desk has to admit that it's been a long time since time trialing was a big part of my riding (beyond 'how fast can I get to the office this morning?') but the Aero Concepts Genesis certainly looks to have all the bases covered.

Colorado Springs, CO September 23, 2004

On September 1 Andrew Juskaitis of Velo News came by the SIBEX Sports booth at the Durango NORBA Finals and took a look at the SIBEX “COSSACK” cyclocross bike.

Scott Mares Owner of SIBEX Sports took the time to show Andrew exactly what makes this bike so special. “There is nothing on the market like it” Mares told Andrew. After a brief period of looking over the bike with a microscope Juskaitis took it for a spin and came back a little bit later with a big grin on his face. “I am really surprised how stiff it is,” Juskaitis told Mares.

The bike was immediately whisked off for photos and later appeared on the Velo News web site in the “Eye Spy” feature of the Durango finals.

That next Friday an email was sent to SIBEX with an invitation to appear in an upcoming issue of Velo News cyclocross special. The Bike was one of 6 that were chosen for the shoot. The Issue is already on news stands.

“Its one thing to produce a great product, but its even better to have your peers recognize and appreciate what you have done”. “To me that is the Best” Mares said.
