2.4 Attach Front Foot

Ask your assistant to lift the front of the Wattbike so that the weight is supported on the back foot and

hold the bike in position whilst you t the front foot using the remaining two screws and washers.

Tighten the screws securely but do not over tighten the screws.

Gently lower the Wattbike to the oor.

2.5 Attach Pedals

Screwtherightpedalontotherightcrank.Tightensecurelyusinga6mmHex(Allen)Key.Repeatfortheleftpedal.

2.6 Attach Saddle

Raisethesaddlestemposttomark12togivesucientheighttowork.

Thread the saddle bottom plate onto the adjustment lever and large spring washer. Place the saddle

2.7 Attach Handlebars

Raisethehandlebarstemposttomark13togivesucientheighttowork.

NOTE - Be careful when adjusting the stem height not to disturb the Wattbike cable.

It is easier with an assistant. Ask your assistant toholdthehandlebarsinplaceontopof,andtowards

the furthest forward adjustment point of the handlebar stem.

Place the handlebar bottom plate underneath the stem with the small hole of the handlebar bottom

plate facing the front. Attach the adjustment lever and large spring washer up through the large hole on the handlebar bottom

plate.Tightensecurely(butnottootightly).

Usingthe5mmHex(Allen)Key40mmscrewsecurethehandlebarsthroughthesmallholeofthehandlebarbottomplate.

Tightensecurely(butnottootightly)usinga5mmHex(Allen)key.

2.8 Attach Wattbike Performance Computer

SecuretheWattbikePerformanceComputer(WPC)tothebracketusingthe2x25mmthumbscrews.

Tightensecurely(butnottootightly).

Plug in the cable to the sensor socket on the back of the Wattbike Performance Computer.

NOTE - The Wattbike Performance Computer should always be switched o when attaching the

cable.

Sockets

There are four sockets on the back of the Wattbike Performance Computer

• SENSOR – to connect the WPC to the Wattbike

• CHARGE–toconnectthe12Vbatterychargeadapter

• HEART RATE – to connect to a Polar heart rate receiver

• USB–toconnecttheWattbiketoaPC(donotuseaUSBcableofmorethan3minlength)

2.9 Saddle and handlebar horizontal and vertical set up

Thesaddleandhandlebarscanbemovedhorizontallyandverticallyusingtheadjustment levers.

NOTE – The adjustment levers on the Wattbike are of a ratchet type, to move the lever pull the

lever outwards.

There are two adjustment levers on the frame of the Wattbike to set the height of the saddle

andhandlebar stems,and twoadjustment levers to set the horizontal position of the saddle and

handlebars.

Thesaddleheightrangeis59cmto84cm.Thehandlebarheightrangeis55cmto74cm.

NOTE – Do not extend the saddle or handlebar height above the minimum marking.

Thehorizontalsaddleandhandlebaradjustmenthasarangeof6cmforboth.Measurefrom the back of the saddle block for

saddleadjustment,andthefrontofthehandlebarblockforhandlebaradjustment.

We reserve the right to carry out preliminary assembly work at the Wattbike factory. The Wattbike and all its components are

subjecttoconstant,innovativequalityassurance.Wereservetherighttoperformtechnicalmodications.

PleasekeeptheWattbikeoriginalpackagingsothatitcanbeused,ifnecessarytotransporttheWattbikeatalaterdate.

Alwaysstorepackingmaterialinawaythatwillnotcauseanydanger.Keepplasticbagsawayfromchildren.

3. Wattbike Set Up

Thecorrectsetupiscrucialtomaximiseperformance,preventinjuryandensurethemostcomfortableridingonyourWattbike.

Thecorrectsequenceforsetupis,saddleheight,horizontalsaddleposition,handlebarheightandhorizontalhandlebarposition.

Beforestarting,ensurethatyoursaddleishorizontal,useaspiritlevelifnecessary.

3.1 Saddle Height

The easiest way to get a rough height for the saddle height is to standtheridernexttothebikewith

theheelpushedintothebackstabiliser,andthenliftthesaddleupsothatthetopofthesaddleis

level with the boney protrusion of the hip.

Sit the rider on the Wattbike and align the crank arms with the seat post,placetheheelofthefooton

thecrankarmnearesttheoor–thelegshouldbestraight(butnotlockedout).

Whenclippedin(orwithfeetinthetoeclips)andwiththepedalatitslongeststroke(inlinewiththe

seatpost)thereshouldapproximately25-30degreesbendontheknee.Theridershouldbeableto

‘drop the ankle’.

Raise/lower the saddle height to get the correct leg position. ALWAYS DISMOUNT THE WATTBIKE BEFORE MAKING

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SADDLE.

Nowgettheridertopedalbackwards,theyshouldbeabletocompleterotationswithonlya slight rocking of hips and without

the legs locking out.

3.2 Saddle Horizontal Position

Withthefeetclippedin(orinthetoeclips)bringthecrankarmsparalleltotheoor,dropa plumb line from the inside of the

knee,intheindentationnexttothepatella-itshouldbisectthepedalspindle.Adjustthesaddlefore/afttoensurethattheknee

is over the pedal spindle.

NOTE – if you need to move the saddle fore/aft severely, you may need to raise/lower the saddle to compensate

The dierence between the forward and back positions of the saddle fore/aft adjustment is 6 cm

3.3 Handlebar Height (saddle to handlebar dierence)

Adjustthe handlebar height so that it is no more than 4 to 10 cm lower than the saddle height

(dependingontnessand exibility, a higher handlebar height maybemorecomfortable) – for

generalexerciseclassesthesaddleandhandlebarsshouldbeatthesameheight-Usealongspirit

level from the saddle across to the handlebar to set this height.

Once the handlebar height has been set, check it by asking the rider to lift their hands o the

handlebars – they should be able to hold position.

NOTE – with the saddle and handlebar both set at maximum height there is a saddle to handlebar

dierence of 7 cm – for safety reasons do not go above minimum markings – extra long stems are

available which increase the settings by 10 cm.

3.4 Handlebar Horizontal Position

Ask your participant to place their hands on top of the handlebars and bring the crank arms parallel

totheoor –drop aplumb linefromthe elbow,it shouldfall throughtheinsideoftheknee,inthe

indentationnexttothepatellaandshouldbisectthepedalspindle–adjusthandlebarsfore/afttoget

the correct position. ALWAYS DISMOUNT THE WATTBIKE BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE

SADDLE OR HANDLEBARS.

Analternativemethodistolookattheangleofthebackwhichshouldbeat45°paralleltotheoorwith

5. The Wattbike Unique Dual Braking System

Thebrakingsystemisclassiedas‘unadjustable’,althoughboththeairbrakeandmagneticbrakeareadjustable manually.

Air Brake Damper Lever

TheWattbikefeaturesauniquepatentprotecteddualbrakingsystemtorecreatethefeelofcycling

on the at and whilst climbing.

Theairbrakedamperleverrecreatesthefeelofcyclingontheatusingdierentresistances.The

‘gearlever’canbemovedfrom‘1throughto10’where‘1’representsthelightestgearingand‘10’the

heaviest. The damper lever regulates the ow of air entering the ywheel. By increasing the aperture

the ow of air and the resistance is increased.

Formostworkoutsituationstheriderwillonlyneedtoapplytheairbrakedamperlever.Theresistancecanbeadjustedduring

aworkout,justasonaroadcyclewithoutcompromisingthevalidityofthedata.

Magnetic Brake Lever

The addition of a magnetic brake lever allows the rider to increase the resistance beyond the Air Brake

DamperLever.Themagnetic brake lever rotates clockwise through one complete turn and is marked

‘1’throughto‘7’where‘1’representsalevelroadand‘7’averysteepgradient.

The combination of an air brake damper lever and magnetic climb lever means that the Wattbike can

beusedforhighcadencelowwattageatoneextremeandlowcadencehighwattageattheother.

7. Calibration

The Wattbike is factory calibrated and does not need further calibration. It is recommended that you set the zero state before

each use by:

Select Setup from the Main menu then Memory and simultaneously press all four buttons.

RotatethepedalsbackwardsforafewrevolutionstounloadtheWattbike.Thecranksshouldbeunladenedandinahorizontal
