Power Meters ~

iBike Pro ~ In stock now!

"Forces applied to the pedals and forces opposing forward motion MUST be equal." - Newton's 3rd Law

Until now, precise power measurement meant a new crank, hub, or wheels along as much as 8 ounces of additional weight to your bike. iBike Pro's breakthrough technology delivers accurate and consistent power measurements yet weighs just 2 ounces. And, no special hub, wheels, or cranks are required. Mount the small iBike display to your handlebar, run a wire to the front wheel magnet and away you go! The patented iBike Pro uses revolutionary technology to measure opposing forces, giving you direct, accurate and consistent power measurement in the simplest package. Includes mount for both regular and oversized handlebars. Runs on 1 CR2032 battery, included.

From its position on your handlebar, the iBike Pro reads average and Max power, calories burned, hill gradient, altitude, trip distance, speed, temperature, wind speed, elevation gained, plus time and trip time. It even includes an interval timer for advanced training. Also includes a USB Port Adapter for high speed data download to your personal computer.

ergomo ~

Note 1/15/08 - Ergomo is in the process of setting up their new distribution in New York. They are currently handling all service issues there. And, they will have full inventory shortly. In the meantime, there is a limited stock still available at the 2007 pricing, below.

The Power Booster!

The very latest and greatest in wattage monitoring!

Mobile performance measurement in watts + computer-aided training = more success!

In 1997, cycling enthusiast and engineer, Siegfried Gerlitzki, discovered that the most important measurement parameter in a cyclist's training program was missing: the pedaling force of the cyclist as measured in watts. Starting with the knowledge that the pedaling shaft distorts slightly during pedaling, Siegfried designed an ingenious optical-electric impulse system that measures force and thereby performance with tremendous precision (.0025 degrees!). Partnering with his close friend, Hunter Allen, one of America's most respected cycling coaches and co-developer of the correspondingly top-flite analysis and training software, Ergomo has quickly become the 'secret weapon' of ambitious cyclists around the world.

In 2005, the entire system was revamped into the smallest, lightest, most dependable, and most precise power measuring system on the planet. Ergomo is well on its way to becoming the best selling system internationally!

"...the set up works wonderfully. I have tried another power monitor a couple of times before, and this seems a lot better. I can use any wheelset and I am very pleased that the system delivers a full data set. The other brand suffers massive blackouts whenever I pass a powerline, which is fairly frequently. Furthermore the system seems to be a lot more robust. Finally the display is nice and big, although it could perhaps have been made more discreet." O.H. from Ct, 5/06

The Ergomo sensor, made in Germany and patented worldwide, consists of 2 perforated disks and 2 optical sensors, each of which produces square-wave signals. The minimal distortion of the shaft during pedaling creates a phase shift in the signals making it possible to measure force exerted (wattage) to a precision of plus or minus 1.5%!

Exclusive Ergomo features:

	*add virtually no weight to your current setup!*
	*computer sensor head weighs just 80 grams!*

	*computer head is water tight and impact resistant*
	*stores up to 100 hours of data between computer uploads!*

Includes all your important performance data in a single system: speed, heart rate, power in watts, cadence, energy consumption, and altitude!

The large handlebar mount display shows up to 5 measurements simultaneously. And, you can select between different menus, for example: current values, training intervals, and training time.

The Ergomo software - faster, higher, farther!

World's most advanced software included! Easily determine your optimal training intensity. At a glance, you get all the data needed for planning efficient training. Plus, you can easily share all of this with a coach. Visible training progress guarantees the fastest possible improvement of your performance.

The Ergomo upload cable fits any standard serial port. With the huge amount of data that you can download, a serial port is quicker than USB. But, you can use a USB adapter, which is available at any computer store. Ergomo recommends using a KEYSPAN 19HS adapter. Be sure you install the KEYSPAN software FIRST so your adapter can talk to your computer.

Ergomo Pro, complete system ~

Includes computer head with handlebar clamp and all cabling including cadence, bottom bracket sensor system, AC charger, PC software CD, data transfer cable for your PC. Even includes the tool so you can easily install the bottom bracket yourself (pictured on right).

Campagnolo and ISIS systems now in stock!

Systems are currently available to fit all Campagnolo double cranksets in both regular (53x39) and compact such as 50x34 as well as the Ergomo carbon crankset (below). Systems to fit FSA and TruVativ ISIS splined cranksets are also in stock. Bottom brackets to fit traditional Shimano Octalink cranks are expected soon. Unfortunately, "MegaPro" cranks that use external bottom brackets like Dura Ace 10, Ultegra 10, FSA K-Force, and FSA SL-K will not be available until next year as these bottom brackets work much differently.

Ergomo Carbon Crankset ~

The complete pro system (above) works with all existing Campagnolo double cranksets. If you aren't using Campagnolo then Ergomo offers a top quality carbon crankset in both traditional double with 53 x 39 chainrings or compact double with 50 x 34 rings. Weight is just 560 grams in 53x39 and 515 grams in compact!

Ergomo Second Bottom Bracket ~

If you would like to transfer your Ergomo to a 2nd bike that uses a different crank, such as your track bike, you'll need an additional bottom bracket sensor unit. As you order, in the "Special Instructions" field tell us the make and model of your 2nd frame and crankset.

Wireless heart rate belt ~

Ergomo works with all current wireless heart rate belts coded to the Polar standard. But if you don't have one or need a spare, we can provide a high quality Polar Wearlink coded belt as well.

*All Ergomo spare parts are available. Please inquire: mailto:service@bikyle.com
