It's about you ™
Since we announced the Zone about 5 months ago the emails and comments we’ve received have focused on a relatively small set of questions, so we’ve decided it might be useful to expand a little on the answers that we give.

Just because we’re busy doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun, so we’ve put together a short video on how to move our Zone power meter from one bike to another.

At last we can pull the curtain back a bit and show you some details of the Brim Brothers ‘Zone’ power meter. We’re really pleased with the design and how it all goes together, and we hope you’ll think it’s just as cool as we do.

The question we get asked most often (by a long way) is when will the power meter be available, and many of you are understandably frustrated that it’s taking us so long to bring it to a final product. There has even been a few who think that it’s taking so long because we’re not really making any progress at all. Well, the truth is that we’re making significant progress all the time, but there are two main reasons why it looks like we aren’t: we had a lot of R&D to do, and we told you about it when we had only just started.

The number of techniques for measuring power transmitted to a bike has grown over the last year or two, with various power meter announcements and launches. Obviously we think our cleat-based system has advantages over all the others (otherwise we wouldn’t be doing this) so I thought it might be interesting to show you how we see the comparison of the various techniques. This might help you to understand how the different ways that power meters work can affect the way you use the power meter and the information you may be able to get from it.

Let’s get down to some details of how our power meter will work with your cleats and pedals. We’ll start with a little introduction to how the whole thing goes together, and then we can take a look at how this gives you a whole load of flexibility.

We’ve decided that it’s time to correct our “publicity deficit” by spending some time explaining what we’re doing, and more importantly, what you will be able to do with our power meter. Most of you have heard the fanfare of various new announcements and promises for new power meters over the past 6 months. Some of them have involved very big names, have got lots of publicity, and have generated high expectations. Meanwhile we’ve been in our test labs and at our desks working hard on the technical and commercial development of our cleat-based power meter, and as we read all the claims for what other products will do we thought “ours does that – and more”. So it’s time we made some noise.

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
There’s a lot of talk in online forums and media of power meters in the last few weeks – new designs announced, previously announced ones going mysteriously silent, detailed analysis of prototypes and press releases, even a few conspiracy theories. Power meters suddenly seem to be the coming Big Thing.

When we started development of our power meter, more than two and a half years ago, it seemed simple: measure some forces, angles and speeds, and use a bit of software to calculate power. But of course, the devil is in the detail. There’s a huge difference between a concept-proving prototype and a producible saleable power meter.
