System Overview
THE POWER TAP SYSTEM
The PowerTap system includes a power-measuring hub which measures torque and wheel
speed. This information is transmitted via digital radio frequency to a receiver mounted on the
rear seat stay. The receiver transfers the data via a wired signal to a computer mounted on the
handlebar or stem. Heart rate data is transferred via A non-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 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 strip, tire, and tube (clincher
rim) or glue and tubular tire (tubular rim). See TABLE 1 to verify package contents.
