Featuring tarmac, cobbles and setts, the Pedalling Efficiency Rig (PER) provides customers with a unique opportunity to test and optimise their equipment choices around the demands of a target event, whilst in a controlled environment. #cyclingtech #efficiency #rollingresistance

The Performance Lab at Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub offers the bike fitting community unparalleled access to market-leading technology in a flexible and accessible environment. Find out more about the Performance Lab here: silverstonesportshub.co.uk/2025/03/21/per… #bikefitting #bikefit

The SSEH Chain Efficiency Rig can be used to measure the efficiency of chains, lubricants and chainrings. By limiting the number of variables, the simplistic test method of the CER provides the ideal controlled environment to measure the smallest of differences between samples.

A big thank you to Absolute Speed for providing their latest BTA System (2.0), now available for testing at SSEH! With a range of width adjustment plates and an adjustable riser, wind tunnel customers now have the opportunity to test a variety of hydration set ups on the bike.

Measuring frame deflection, by applying torsional load via the cranks is just one of the many test configurations we are able to perform using the SSEH Stiffness Rig If you would be interested in utilising this rig for product development, or benchmarking, please get in touch

Clothing and equipment can perform differently across a yaw sweep. Much like wind speed, considering appropriate yaw angles for your session is a great way to ensure your data is meaningful in the real world! #SSEHub #windtunnel #aerotesting

Designed for testing at race power/ speed, the PER provides power loss and efficiency values which are representative of real world riding With the ability to customise input parameters such as ambient conditions, the PER takes mechanical efficiency testing to a whole new level

When selecting a sample time, it is important to factor in the variation of drag measured by the rider/ equipment. For all testing, whether rider, or equipment, we would recommend a minimum of 30 seconds per record, in order to obtain a representative average value.

Are you looking to optimise your drivetrain? The Chain Efficiency Rig (CER) is the perfect tool to measure the efficiency of chains, lubricants, and chainrings. The CER's simplistic test method limits the number of variables, providing an ideal and controlled environment.

The SSEH Stiffness rig can be used to perform a variety of tests, whether that's components in isolation, or in situ on the frame. In this instance, a torsional load has been applied to the cranks in order to measure the deflection of the frame under load. #cyclingtech

Rolling resistance, component stiffness and chain friction can be measured with our smaller mechanical test rigs in isolation, however the PER has been designed to measure the efficiency of the dynamic system as a whole, and how all components interact with each other

Wind Tunnel Contraction: Air is drawn into the contraction, passing through a series of mesh screens to condition the flow and reduce turbulence. As the tunnel narrows, it accelerates the airflow to the desired test speed and helps to further reduce the turbulence #windtunnel

The SSEH rolling resistance rig allows you to measure and compare the rolling resistance of different tyres, tyre set ups and tyre pressures and more across a range of wheel speeds and loads. #rollingresistance #cyclingtech

The wind tunnel instrumentation records data for a number of metrics including ambient air and wind conditions, yaw angle and drag force measurements. Raw data is recorded at a sample rate of 100Hz. Cycling metrics such as rider cadence, wheel power and speed are also measured.

The SSEH Chain Efficiency Rig is available for testing different chain and chain lube combinations From the results, the efficiency of a given chain and lube combination can be obtained, to enable direct comparison and optimise drivetrain performance

Use our edge capturing software to make sure any gains you find are deliberate! By aligning their body within the displayed edges, riders are able to maintain their position throughout a test run, helping to improve repeatability and giving you confidence in your data #SSEH

The SSEH Performance Lab features a bespoke, and fully customisable Wattbike for carrying out bike fits. The bike has been adapted to accommodate both a range of drop handlebars and time trial extensions, as well as interchangeable cranks in various sizes

Throwback to our front wheel blog in which we measured the affect different depths, profiles and spoke type has on aerodynamic performance. 7 wheels were tested, from box sections to performance wheels. Hit the link below to read the full blog! silverstonesportshub.co.uk/2023/10/12/fro…

Our Stiffness Rigs allow you to test and compare components, to ensure that your setup is stiff and you aren't wasting unnecessary power. With capabilities ranging from stems and wheels to entire frame sets, get in touch if you think the stiffness rigs might be of interest.
