Your power meter uses the slope to determine the correct wattage output when you ride. Zero-offsetting or zeroing, is a procedure that is performed by the cyclist before every ride. When you do a zero-offset, the power meter zeros out any residual torque that has built up in the power meter from previous rides, temperature changes or installations. In essence, zeroing wipes the power meter clean. Think of zeroing as setting the tare on a scale. Nor should you just hop on your bike and ride without performing a quick zero-offset.
Also, here are two helpful tips to keep in mind if you run into issues when zeroing your power meter:. As you will see below, some power meters have a feature called Auto Zero. With this feature, the power meter will perform an automatic calibration on its own — usually when the bike is stationary or while coasting.
While it is still possible to perform a zero using the head unit, it really is not necessary. Just get on your bike and ride. Based on which power meter you have, please find the corresponding steps below which will outline how to zero your power meter correctly.
After installing your power meter for the first time and when you move the power meter between bikes. Other than these times, there is no need to manually zero as the Favero Assioma power meters have Auto Zero and the power meter will perform calibrations automatically. The PowerBox has Auto Zero and will automatically zero-offset every time you coast for at least two seconds during a ride.
Therefore, while it is still possible to perform a zero using the head unit, it really is not necessary. Just get on your bike and ride, the PowerBox will do the rest. The Vector 3 comes with an auto-zero function. Auto-zero can be enabled or disabled using your bicycle computer. When enabled, the Vector pedals will auto-zero every time they are woken up. The pedals will also do an auto-zero immediately before going to sleep four minutes after the last movement.
Note that in order for auto-zero to succeed, the pedals must be stationary for approximately 10 seconds and the bike must be upright. Even with auto-zero enabled, you can still perform a manual zero at any time the steps outlined above. In fact, upon installing the pedals for the first time or moving them between bikes, it is recommended you perform a manual zero in order to get the offset values into a range where the auto-zero can track any further changes.
Just get on your bike and ride, the power2max will do the rest. Quarq power meters have a feature called MagicZero. With MagicZero, the power meter automatically calibrates as you ride.
Typically, this automatic calibration will occur when the bike is stationary, coasting, or when you are slowly backpedaling. Therefore, there is no need for manual offsets. However, you should perform a zero-offset after the initial installation or after changing any drivetrain components pedals, chainrings, etc. It is also recommended that you perform a zero-offset after 30 hours of riding. Please note that zero offset values above or below the range DO NOT necessarily signal that something is wrong with the power meter.
So for example, one day and the next is fine. However, one day and the next is not. When paired with an SRM power meter, most bike computers also show the previously stored zero-offset value which is a handy way to confirm your value is staying consistent.
Please note that zero offset values above or below the range DO usually signal that something is wrong with the power meter. For example, one day and the next is a problem. It is not necessary to perform a zero-offset before every ride. However it is recommended to zero-offset the power meter periodically in order to ensure maximum accuracy. In addition, a zero-offset is recommended after changes to the crank such as changing pedals, chainrings, installation of the crank, tightening of bolts, etc.
The first time you ride outdoors only. If you set up additional bike profiles, a one-time calibration ride will be needed for each additional bike as well. The reason for zeroing a power meter is to zero or cancel out any residual torque that has built up in the power meter from previous rides, temperature changes or installations.
The InfoCrank was constructed and designed so that torque never accumulates in the strain gauges. 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.
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.
Freehub bodies may be interchanged. The PowerTap is available in mm and mm axle lengths. Only insert the correctly spaced PowerTap hub into your frame. For example, only use a mm-spaced hub in a mm 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.
Contact a wheel building professional or dealer for assistance in building the PowerTap SL wheel if not purchased as a complete wheel. Both sides of the PowerTap should be built using only a 3x spoke lacing pattern. 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 recommended and will void the warranty. The receiver shoe can be mounted on either the handlebar or stem. Secure the receiver shoe.
Cadence can be measured via two methods, wired pedal and wireless hub. To measure cadenced via the wired method install the pedal cadence wire and the cadence magnet to the crank arm. Ensure the center of the magnet passes the wired end of the sensor unit.
No installation is required for the wireless cadence method. Place the computer into the mounting shoe on the handlebar or stem. NOTE: Ensure the computer is fully inserted onto the receiver shoe for proper data transmission.
The strap should rest just beneath the pectoralis muscles. For best results slightly moisten the electrodes where contact is made with skin. The heart rate strap must be worn to enable the heart rate function. Check to make sure all components are properly secured.
This indicates the hub is properly transmitting a signal to the receiver and computer. If the transmission icon is not illuminated consult. Welcome to ManualMachine.

System Overview cont. Reference a spoke-length calculator to determine proper spoke length. Make sure the axel is correctly positioned in the dropouts and secure the wheel in place with a steel skewer. If necessary, rotate receiver to within 5 degrees of parallel with the hub battery cover before tightening cable ties.
Attach Computer Harness to Handlebar or Stem The receiver shoe can be mounted on either the handlebar or stem. Secure the receiver shoe with cable ties. Attach Receiver mount to Handlebar Slide shoe in direction of arrow onto the base. Receiver Shoe. Attach Receiver mount to Stem Slide shoe in direction of arrow onto the base.
