System Overview
THE POWERTAP SYSTEM
The PowerTap system includes a power-measuring hub which measures torque and wheel
speed. This information is transmitted to a computer mounted on the handlebar or stem.
Heart rate data is transferred via a coded
telemetry signal
from the chest strap monitor. The
data is then integrated to display current, average, and maximum biometric information.
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
The PowerTap hub comes either alone or in a pre-built wheel. If purchased alone, the hub
must be built into a complete wheel prior to use. Other items necessary for installation and
not provided include a cassette, spoke protector, reflectors, skewer, rim, tire, and tube (clincher
rim) or glue and tubular tire (tubular rim). See TABLE 1 to verify package contents.
