New Spider for Clavicula M³ MTB available in 2017!
THM will present in 2017 a new Aluminium Spider for the Clavicula M³ MTB crank to complement the range of the already available 1-speed, 2-speed and 3-speed spiders.
The new spider is a 1-speed type with 104 mm bolt circle for the standard version (49.5 mm chainline) and alternatively for the Boost version (52 mm chainline). Chainrings and bolts will be available as an option.
With this product we now present the lightest MTB crank with a BCD 104 1-speed drive in 32, 34 and 36-teeth version. It is also possible to install 30 teeth with a slightly modified Praxis Works chainline.

A first comparison puts the new Clavicula SE at the forefront among its competitors.
Indeed our Clavicula SE, now finally available, has passed the first stress test with flying colours. Setting new standards with a stiffness to weight ratio of 3.54, it obtains the best ranking in a top-class competition with a complete system weighing just 494.8 grams (crank plus bearings, chain rings and chain ring bolts).
This result shows that THM-Carbones adhere steadfast to their philosophy of offering products meeting the highest quality standards only. Clavicula sine exceptione – Clavicula without limitation

THM Carbones Clavicula classic and M³ awarded with the first and second place by Fairwheel Bikes!
We eagerly awaited the results of Fairwheel Bikes’ comprehensive and critical test program. Indeed, considering the systematic procedure and scientific analysis characterizing that test, statements are of vital importance for the bike crank manufacturers worldwide and also are a real quality label in the segment of high-end manufacturing.
We are all the more pleased about the present evaluation.

Here the comment of Fairwheel Bikes on the results of Clavicula classic: „The Clavicula is now in its 10th year of development and refinement, and it shows. 1st in weight, 2nd in stiffness and 1st in stiffness to weight.” and on the results of Clavicula M³ „The Clavicula M3 is a newer model than the Classic, designed to be a little heavier and a bit more modular in its design…. and 2nd in stiffness to weight puts this up with the best cranks.”

“Concept 1865“ from BASF
THM assisted BASF, plastic specialists for many years, in the project “Concept 1865“ as a partner in design consultation, executive planning and incorporation of FRC components into the “e-velocipede”. Indeed it was THM, in co-operation with the project leading company Designstudio DING3000, to manufacture the frame, the fork and the big wheel for the prototype bicycle. The project was presented on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of BASF at the K2013 fair in Düsseldorf. We are very glad to be able to participate in this project. To get further information on this impressive project, just click on the above links – we wish you very much fun!

Fibula gets best reviews
Among other in the tour 11/2012: …,Brakes, crank sets and fork come all from the German carbon specialist THM whose competence in lightweight construction enjoys a global reputation. Quite rightly: Whilst brakes and cranks match the functional quality of large series parts, the fork is simply sensational. Never before there was a fork to receive highest marks for both comfort and lateral stiffness – and that with a weight of 283 grams only!"
Or in the big brake test in the tour 04/2012:
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.”

Comfort fork for road racing
Comfort becomes a more and more important factor in road cycling. Indeed, why should you get out of the saddle totally stiff after two hours of cycling whilst actually you would like to continue to ride just a few more hours?
Load caused by an aluminium or carbon fibre star fork is enormous as even the smallest road unevenness is directly transmitted to joints, vertebrae and muscles.
Well aware of these problems we have developed for road racing bikes the world’s first sprung fork without further mechanical parts. This patented system consists of two-piece fork blades and unique lamella springs which enormously increase comfort and at the same time ensure consistent performance.

Eurobike 2012
Once again the time has arrived…
People of the bicycle industry get together once a year at the world’s biggest bicycle fair, Eurobike in Friedrichshafen. As a matter of course we were also there to present our new products at the new stand of THM-Carbones and Schmolke Carbon.
First of all we would like to thank Sabine Spitz for her visit to our stand. At the Olympic Games in London she won a silver medal with Clavicula.
Congratulations again!!!
Our new stand was well attended at any time and there was a great interest in our new Scapula CT fork and the new MTB Clavicula M³. There were also the companies HaeroCarbon, Bike ahead composites and A2J to present their lightweight products under the motto “THM + Schmolke & friends“.
A lot of work had to be done, but we also had very much fun and are looking forward to 2013.

Clavicula now also available with chainrings!
As of now THM offers you the option of ordering the Clavicula fitted with chainrings made by the company Praxis Works. After extensive testing we are absolutely convinced of the quality of these chainrings. They are cold-forged from aluminium which makes them considerably stiffer than CNC worked chainrings. Perfectly tuned shifting ramps ensure a very comfortable switching behaviour. We have all current options for racing and mountain bikes in the programme and most of them are immediately available from THM. If you have any query please do not hesitate to contact us.

First pictures of Scapula CT
Now it’s available! After a long development time THM is glad to present you a new fork model with 1 ¼ headset below (tapered).
With this geometry the new fork is slightly superior even to our excellent Scapula SP.
Specifications are convincing: By creating an extremely high lateral stiffness (55 N/mm) we have succeeded in building a fork ensuring outstanding driving comfort.
The triangular structure with 60 N/mm longitudinal stiffness gives perceptible comfort by relieving the muscles on uneven ground and saves human resources for more important tasks.
The low weight of the fork is self-evident for a THM product. Only 275 g with 200 mm shaft length is a substantial contribution to saving energy when on a mountain track.
Pay a visit to us and to the Scapula CT at Eurobike in hall A2-205.
