trimmer to clip the cable ties. However, assembling the

wheel, cassette and other parts requires the proper tools

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Powertap System

The Powertap system includes a power-measuring

hub which measures torque and wheel speed. This

information is then transmitted via digital radio fre-

quency to a receiver mounted on the seat stay. The

data is wired to the Powertap computer mounted on

the handlebar. The computer receives the signal

from the heart rate monitor chest strap to provide

heart rate information. All of this information is then

processed for display on the computer.

Preparing for Installation

The Powertap hub comes either in a pre-built wheel

or alone, ready to build into a wheel. The power

measuring hub must be built into a complete wheel

prior to installation. Other items necessary for instal-

lation are a cassette, spoke protector, reflectors,

skewer, rim strip, tire, and tube (clincher rim) or glue

and tubular tire (tubular rim). Please read all

instructions prior to installation. Also take a moment

to verify the package contents. The installation

procedure with a complete wheel requires only a

Compatibility

The Powertap hub is compatible with

Shimano 8 and 9 speed systems.

Campagnolo systems can be used with the

Campy Adapter, available at your Powertap

dealer, part #7024.

Only insert the correctly

spaced Powertap hub into

your frame. For example, only

use a 130mm-spaced hub in

a 130mm road frame. Do not

force the hub into any frame.

Doing so may cause failure of

the frame, hub, or both, and will void the war-

ranty. Contact your dealer or Powertap to

address any special compatibility issues.
