Important Precautions:• Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician.• Keep your eyes on the road. Do not become overly engaged with the PowerTap display. We recommend familiarizing yourself with computer functions while stationary.• The computer, chest strap, and hub are water resistant, not water proof. Avoid sustained water contact and do not deliberately place the PowerTap or its componentsin water or under high-pressure sprays. • Avoid spraying the unit directly with solvent mixture. Do not use thinner or other solvents to clean parts. • If you are not familiar with bike maintenance please contact a professional bicycle mechanic before servicing. The power measuring components of the PowerTap are highly complex and should only be serviced by Saris Cycling Group. • The plastic battery cover on the hub should be removed only when replacing batteries. Repeated disassembly may compromise the effectiveness of the O-ring seals. O-rings should be inspected and replaced if necessary whenever the battery cover is removed. Use a light coating of grease when reinstalling the battery cover on the O-rings.• During the course of repair do not remove the torque tube. There are no serviceable parts inside. Special tools are required for reassembly and calibration. If problems are suspected contact Saris Cycling Group directly at 800-783-7257 (001 608 274 6550).5
Important Precautions, cont.• The PowerTap wheel does not include a quick release skewer. • Failure to adhere to these precautions may cause premature failure or incorrect operation of the unit and may void the warranty. Please register your PowerTap at www.cycleops.com.IMPORTANT:For your safety, the non-drive side of the PowerTap hub must be built with at least a 2x lacingpattern. Because of the patented PowerTap design, torque is transferred through the hub to thenon-drive side. Failure to adhere to this precaution will void the warranty.MTB DISC ONLYWarnings:Rotor may become very hot during use. Avoid contact during and directly after riding.Rotor may contain sharp edges. Avoid contact while the wheel is spinning.Installation should only be completed by a trained technician. Improper installation could causeserious or fatal injuries.This product is designed for cross country use only.6
System OverviewTHE POWERTAP SYSTEMThe PowerTap system includes a power-measuring hub which measures torque and wheelspeed. This information is transmitted to a computer mounted on the handlebar or stem. Heartrate data is transferred via a coded telemetry signal from the chest strap monitor. The data isthen 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 mustbe built into a complete wheel prior to use. Other items necessary for installation and not provid-ed include a cassette, spoke protector, reflectors, skewer, rim, tire, and tube (clincher rim) or glueand tubular tire (tubular rim).

System Overview cont.COMPATABILITYThe PowerTap hub is compatible with Shimano 8, 9, and 10 speed systems or Campagnolo 8, 9,and 10 speed systems. Freehub bodies may be interchanged. Reference FREEHUB REPLACEMENTfor further instructions.The PowerTap is available in 130mm (Road) and 135mm (MTB) axle lengths. 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 theframe, hub, or both, and will void the warranty. Contact your dealer or Saris Cycling Group toaddress any special compatibility concerns.WHEEL BUILDINGContact a wheel building professional or dealer for assistance in building the PowerTap wheel ifnot purchased as a complete wheel. Due to the design of the hub, the load pattern is not thesame as a conventional hub. Slotting the hub flanges to accommodate bladed spokes is not rec-ommended and will void the warranty. Complete wheel building hub dimensions are listed inTABLE 2. Reference a spoke-length calculator to determine proper spoke length.TABLE 2 - MTB Wheel Building Dimensions8IMPORTANT:For your safety, the non-drive side of the PowerTap hub must be built with at least a 2x lacingpattern.

COMPUTER SETUP 5This setup allows the CPU to learn a new device or sensor such as the hub, heart rate strap andoptional cadence sensor. NOTE: This process only needs to be used if a new sensor or hub isbeing used in conjunction with your CPU or vice versa. There are 2 Learn sequences, 1 and 2.Learn 1 is used when you have switched sensors or the CPU and there are no other like bikeswith PowerTap within a 30’ radius. Learn 2 is used if there are other devices in the area butrequires you to remove and reinsert the battery for that device before activating the Learn 2sequence.1) From the computer setup main menu press [SELECT] and scroll until the number five (5) is flashing and press [MODE] to enter setup mode.2) Press [SELECT] to toggle through the digit values to set the Hub ID. Press [MODE] to advance to the next digit. After the last digit is set, press [MODE] to save.Note: Use either Learn 1 or Learn 2 to set the hub ID when the numberical value is not known. (Most cases) Make sure the hub is awake byspinning the wheel or axel. 3) Initiate Learn 1 by holding [SELECT] until “Learn” begins to flash. Learn 1 will search for any active hub so be sure there are no other nativehubs in the area. When the search is complete press [MODE] to advance to Learn 2.Note: If Learn 1 was successful, learn 2 is not necessary.4) Initiate Learn 2 by first removing the batteries from the hub for 5 seconds and replacing them. Then hold [Select] until "Learn" begins to flash. When the CPU has learned the hub I.D. it will display the I.D. Press [Mode] to save and proceed to the next device I.D. If it did not learn the device it will take you back to the most recent Hub I.D. 31hubId45847hubIdLEArn1hubIdLEArn1flashinghubIdLEArn2hubIdLEArn2flashingSetE12345td

Maintenance & SpecificationsThe following information will help you keep your PowerTap running properly. If you are notfamiliar with hub maintenance please consult a professional bicycle mechanic before servicing. During the course of any repair do not remove the torque tube. There are no user serviceableparts inside. Special tools are required for reassembly and calibration. If problems are suspectedcontact Saris Cycling Group.BEARINGSThe power measuring components inside the PowerTap are highly complex and should only byserviced by Saris Cycling Group. The bearings are sealed and do not require replacement. Fieldreplacement can cause permanent damage to the power measuring electronics and result incompromised sealing and performance. If bearing problems are suspectedplease contact Saris Cycling Group at 1-800-783-7257 for a return authorization. The PowerTapuses a modern 4 bearing design and does not require any tensioning adjustment.Ceramic Bearings are used in the SLC+ model. These are a hybrid construction of higher qualitysteel inner and outer race, ceramic balls and a plastic cage. The ceramic balls are lighter, harderand smoother than traditional bearings. In addition a special low friction seal is used.FREEHUBThe grease in the freehub pawls should be replaced if it becomes contaminated with water.Replace the seal at the same time, contact Saris Cycling Group for replacement parts.
