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
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.
