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 components in water or under high-

pressure sprays.

•

Avoi d 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).

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, t

he non-drive side of the PowerTap hub must be built with at least a 2x lacing
pattern. Because of the patented PowerTap design, torque is transferred through the hub to the
non-drive side. Failure to adhere to this precaution will void the warranty.

MTB DISC ONLY
Warnings:
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 cause
serious or fatal injuries.
This product is designed for cross country use only.

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, reflector

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

and tubular tire (tubular rim). See TABLE 1 to verify package contents.

COMPATABILITY

The 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 REPLACEMENT
for 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 the
frame, hub, or both, and will void the warranty. Contact your dealer or Saris Cycling Group to
address any special compatibility concerns.

WHEEL BUILDING

Contact a wheel building professional or dealer for assistance in building the PowerTap wheel if

not purchased as a complete wheel. Due to the design of the hub, the load pattern is not the
same 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 in
TAB L E 2 .

Reference a spoke-length calc

ulator to determine proper spoke length.

FINDING SENSORS
The PowerTap hub, sensors and computer are "paired" or "learned" at the factory so that the sys­tem is ready to ride once installed on the bicycle. Learning involves viewing and storing each
device ID into the PowerTap computer. Information on learning can be found in computer setup
5 section of this owner's manual.

In addition, there is a feature called "Find" that allows the user to search for stored devices in the
event a sensor has lost contact with the PowerTap computer for any reason. To initiate the Find,
hold [Mode] and [Select]. Release when "Find" appears on the bottom of the PowerTap screen
after about 2 seconds. The current watts display will switch to a spinning dial, indicating the
search is in process. Whe n the search is successful, the transmission icon appears in the upper
left corner. If device ID's are stored for heart rate and cadence there will be spinning dials for
these metrics as well.

POWER CONSERVATION
The computer and hub have power saving features to prolo

ng battery life. The computer powers
down the display after four (4) minutes of inactivity. Press either [MODE] or [SELECT ] to activate
the display. Similarly, the hub powers down after five (5) minutes of inactivity. The transmission
icon will not be visible when the hub is asleep. To wake the hub spin the wheel and verify the
transmission icon is illuminated.

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 by
spinning the wheel or axel.

3) Initiate Learn 1 by holding [SELECT] until “Learn” be g i ns to flash.
Learn 1 will search for any active hub so be sure there are no other native
hubs in the area. When the search i

s 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.

Maintenance & Specifications

The following information will help you keep your PowerTap running properly. If you are not
familiar 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 serviceable
parts inside. Special tools are required for reassembly and calibration. If problems are suspected
contact Saris Cycling Group.

BEARINGS
The power measuring components inside the PowerTap are highly complex and should only by
serviced by Saris Cycling Group. The bearings are sealed and do not require replacemen

t. Field
replacement can cause permanent damage to the power measuring electronics and result in
compromised sealing and performance. If bearing problems are suspected
please contact Saris Cycling Group at 1-800-783-7257 for a return authorization. The PowerTap
uses a modern 4 bearing design and does not require any tensioning adju

stment.

Ceramic Bearings are used in the SLC+ model. These are a hybrid construction of higher quality
steel inner and outer race, ceramic balls and a plastic cage. The ceramic balls are lighter, harder
and smoother than traditional bearings. In addition a special low friction seal is used.

FREEHUB
The grease in the freehub pawls should be replac

ed if it becomes contaminated with water.
Replace the seal at the same time, contact Saris Cycling Group for replacement parts. Sar is
Cycling Group recommends the following types of grease to ensure proper functioning:

-Kluber Isoflex NB52 o

-Dupont Krytox GPL226

-Phil Wood Waterproof Grease

HUB BATTERIES
Normal battery life in the hub is 400 hours of actual ride time. Use #357/303

or EPX76 Silver

Oxide (IEC-SR44) type batteries and always replace batteries in pairs. Alkaline type batteries give
shorter life and poorer performance. NOTE: After replacing batteries in the hub you need to Learn
the device codes. See computer setup 5.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

- Unscrew the plastic battery cover. Use the included cap tool. There are O-ring seals that can

cause the cover to resist the start of motion. The threading is normal right ha

nd.

- Remove the battery pack. A small screw driver can be used back and forth between the two

ends to start to lift it out.

- Pop the battery out by bending the plastic retaining tab back and pushing the battery up from

the bottom.

- Check that the electrical connector tab from the inside of the hub is perpendicular to the

bottom of the battery pocket. If the tab gets bent, gently press it back to perpendicular with
a blunt tool.

38

-Slide the battery pack back into position along the center core. As the pack is engaged a small

increase of resistance to installation should be felt as the electrical connections are made.

- Thread the cap all the way back on.

- Replacement O-rings and battery packs are available from Saris Cycling Group.
