System Overview

THE POWER TAP 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 SL 2.4 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.
