We have been hard at work on a new Universal Front Brake Cover, and these are the first preview shots of our early pre-production samples. Please forgive the raw quality here. What this product does is mates the Omega X brake with our Alpha One aerobars (or even Alpha X and Sigma X), hiding all the hardware and cabling, turning your standard messy front end into an ultra-sleek one.

The new cover is designed to work on any bike with standard interfaces and standard head tubes up front, like this Orbea Ordu OMP. We don't yet have a compatibility list, but things like the Cervelo P-Series, Felt B-Series, and similar bikes should all work well. For now, enjoy the pre-production shots here. No ETA yet for this product, but we will have more info as soon as it is available!

Now just add a Torhans Aero30 to the front for the coveted 50:1 aero foil.

Steering stability: TBD

I'm buying and building a P4 with TriRig bars, wonder if this hints at availability with older frames like the P4?

Would not this be frame size dependent - as the size of the cover would need to match the length of the head tube?

Next races on the schedule: none at the moment

It’s extra tall to fit any size frame. You just cut to the right height.

I wouldn’t use the cover on the P4. It’s head tube is so narrow and carefully shaped, adding anything in front will add frontal aera and affect it’s wonderful low yaw performance.

I contemplated running a Torhans Aero30, but when it was wider than the P4’s headtube.

Having tested a few 3d printed parts like this I'd tend to agree. Slick looking but probably won't make things faster for bikes that are already fast and maybe/probably slower. It might help, might, make some crap bikes a touch faster.

This is all I need for an integrated front end. Probably no aero difference but looks more finished than a 2-3cm section of mast below the base bar. I think most people would only need about 2-3cm for future adjustments....

If that's your use case, then just set up the bar with 2-3 of its included aero-matched spacers below (assuming your position can accommodate that).

In the gallery linked above, the Ordu is set up with one of those spacers beneath the bar. You can see lots more in the gallery on the Alpha One minisite: http://www.tririg.com/...one&page=gallery (most of the pictures there show the bar with one spacer beneath the bar).

How does this get around the Ironman fairing rule? (Section 5.03 b) And not just this, but any of the 3D printed pieces that people have started making to fill in gaps on their bikes.

Section 5.03 b
Fairings are prohibited. Any device added or blended into the structure that may decrease, or that has the effect of decreasing, resistance to air penetration, or that may artificially accelerate propulsion, such as a protective screen, fuselage form fairing or the like, is prohibited; (DSQ)

It's a brake cover so it also has the dual purpose of protecting the brake mechanism. A bit of a stretch, but might work.

It’s precisely relevant. Others were suggesting that brake fairings are aero neutral or worse. We found a very real benefit to Omni’s brake cover, which was the genesis of this new Universal cover.

No I am not asserting we have run wind tunnel tests with every frame combination and this cover. I am asserting that our previous testing with Omni showed a benefit from adding a similar cover.

Yes, and the implication is that it will improve other bikes in a similar fashion. Which is a total crapshoot guess.

So what you're saying with these graphs is that at 5, 7.5 and 10yaw it's going to be at most ~ .3sec/km faster on an Omni w/ cover vs an Omni Omega X w/out the cover but you really don't know if it's going to be better or worse on other bikes? (320 vs 360 gm drag at 30mph 10yaw)

Hardly seems worth the trouble

The fact that it worked that well on Omni, an already incredibly-fast shape, led me to believe it was worth the trouble. Of course, you are welcome to draw your own conclusions.

Man you guys are a tough crowd! I didn't read his post as being overly promotional. In response to a question, he provided proof that in at least one case it did in fact help (though only a little). I've seen lots of sloppy front ends where I think this would likely help. Hopefully eventually all bikes will be clean enough not to need it.

Nick, what a great idea to hide the monopost.

I have an orbea ordu omp and I want this. Is there any alternative cable exits (e.g. top cover) on the Alpha One? It looks like the frame will block the backward facing Alpha One cable routes.

I think it's a cool design to cover the Alpha One monopost. That said, I think the beauty of the Omega brake is its lightweight, minimal simplicity and ease of brake pad adjustment. If I needed a brake fairing I'd buy one of the dozens of tri bikes that have the brakes integrated (that also happen to make adjustments a pain). Just my 2¢.

A tough crowd would be pointing out that it appears like the top was cut to length with a pruning saw and the entire thing is held on with electrical tape.

I'm super impressed with my Omega brake and very close to pulling the trigger on the Alpha X bars. These brake cover photos look mega rushed though.

I know the Canyon uses a nearly identical version PD bottle to the Aeria Hydration System but it's not the same in how it mates and shapes with the stem. That bottle that you linked is shaped to only work on the Ultimate stem. The Canyon one was specifically designed for the Canyon stem.

It really sucks but no you can't buy the Canyon version. You have to pony up to the "SLX "model as it is the only model that comes w/the PD hydration kit.

And having read thru my PM's with the owner of a CF model who has Aeria hydration kit and read that you have to get the PD Ultimate stem. So basically that's almost $300 to get the integrated look.

Will it fit perfectly on Cervelo P5 six? The fork has a specific design.

The Magura stopped to produce the P5 brake system and will not have spare parts shortly. I think that a lot of Cervelo P5 owner would like to change the Magura RT8 system to Omega X in case ithe brake cover fits perfectly with the P5 fork and 3T aduro aero bar.

I see an opportunity to the Tririg and to the Cervelo P5 owners to replace the Magura system.

Take a look in this homemade Omega X brake cover for P5.

I don’t know what that is. Guess same thing as Google here? Does this link work?

https://drive.google.com/...-a/view?usp=drivesdk

I made the bento box as well as painted the frame. And modified the rear holder (if you guys have that from Dash you know how crazy long it is. I shortened it). I covered the cable holes since running Etap and drilled a better location for the brake cable exiting bottom of the frame - just a few mm towards front wheel.

Tririg alpha x bars with 51 speedshop cups and extensions. Made headset bearing cap out of carbon too - that was because what Tririg sends is wider than the bearing by a good amount and it was interfering with my bento.

Making my second edition of my cycling shoes now.

Any chance that’s a 56cm frame and you’d be able to print out another brake cover, or put it on shapeways? I’m still running the Magura brakes but wouldn’t mind converting to cable actuated brakes.

Ok, we are far enough along to provide some more info. We are onto production of the cover. Packaging has been finalized. All Omni customers are going to get theirs first, precut and pre-assembled to their bike size. Once we have the first production samples, we need to do photography, copy, and installation documentation. Then they will open up for sale to the public.

There is no fixed timeline right now, which is why I consistently say "no ETA" when asked when it's coming out. But we are still working to get it finished. It's just been a very slow and very expensive project (nearly as much in tooling cost as a frame!!!) - so yes, it's coming. Just, I don't know exactly when.

Thanks!
waiting for it to buy the alpha one and sigma stem. The next improvement to my Cannondale Slice.

Best regards

For the sake of clarity, you wouldn’t need Alpha One AND Sigma X. Alpha One already has an integrated stem.

Why wait for the Tririg and a price tag that will likely be north of $300 when you get the Ventum model for a tenth of the price?

And how does the Ventum one attach to any other bike?

Is the ventum one a universal cover? While I tend to doubt Tririg’s claim that it’s cover is truly universal, we at least have to give them the benefit of the doubt until it comes out. There are plenty of other brake covers out there-the Magura is only like $15 but I’m not aware of any other universal ones like Tririg is trying to make here. Make no mistake, Nick is a master of making cool products that we don’t need and convincing us that we need them (this isn’t a slight against him, it’s very Apple-esque). This is just another fine example.

The price tag will likely be $30. I stand corrected.

It won’t fit every bike on the market, no. It’s intended for bikes with a standard head tube and brake mount. So that’s not every bike out there, but it’s a lot of them.

Right. I understand from a marketing standpoint you aren’t going to call this a “works with many standard head tubes and standard brakes” cover.

Are the front brake covers still available? I am working on a custom bike build with a cervelo p5 six fork. Thanks
