The PowerTap system includes a power-measuring hub which measures torque and wheel

speed. This information is then transmitted via digital radio frequency to a receiver mounted on

the seat stay. The data is wired to the PowerTap computer mounted on the handlebar. The com-

puter 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.

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 nec-

essary for installation 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 trimmer to clip the cable ties. However, assembling the wheel, cassette and

other parts requires the proper tools and experience. If you are unsure of any step of the proce-

dure or do not have all of the tools necessary for installation, contact your local dealer

for assistance.
