PowertapSL computer on stem
I had thought about getting the stem mount for my powertap installation from Cing Cycling but that site is gone.
Does anyone have another solution for mounting the powertapSL computer on their stem? Cheers- Jim

Mine came with a mount that allows you to mount it on the stem or bars. |

Re: PowertapSL computer on stem
you need to use 4 zip ties. It worked very well on mine.
here is a quick sketch, i know it sucks, but you get the idea...i hope. http://www.geocities.com/grilledchi...00/powertap.jpg also, use a square or two of bar tape between the mount and stem, allows the zip ties to really cinch the mount down and keeps it from slipping. john Last edited by PSUcycling : 20-01.-2006 at 03:23 AM. |

Re: PowertapSL computer on stem
The mount that is currently shipping with it can be mounted on the bar or stem. Two zip ties and that's it.

Re: PowertapSL computer on stem
Yeah, you just rotate the computer harnass 90-deg before snapping it into the bar mount, unless I'm missing something here.

Re: PowertapSL computer on stem
If you have the powertap SL the owners manual shows you how to mount it on the stem page 9 (Section 3B)

Mine's also a PT Pro. Was there a specific model that required improv? My mount came in 2 pieces, one that is rounded to fit the bar, and the other one molded to hold the computer. My installation instructions described that I should slide the 2 pieces together in one way for bar mounting, and another for stem mounting. |

Re: PowertapSL computer on stem
Related question - has anyone successfully mounted it on the bar, then changed their mind and switched it to the stem mount? I'm reluctant to take it off the bar without knowing for sure that I can switch it.
thx, peter |

If you have the old style mount, then you can easily use my drawing, if you have the newer mount, you can turn the base 90 deg. However, you will probably not have enough slack in the wiring harness. If you can easily let some out (ie. undoing a few turns from your brake cable) then you should have no problem Jmac |

I did a couple races (Baldwin City and KS State RR & Crit) last summer as a Cat 5 on the SKC Racing team. I've seen the Tailwind guys here and there, but I can't say I know any of them personally. I'm planning to ride the State TT this year, so I'm sure I'll run into them out there in your old stomping grounds.  |

I'd do it when I put new cables in so the wiring won't be a problem, but with the new mount it looks like I can't take the stem/bar mount and CPU cradle pieces apart once I've chosen which way I want them to connect. They seem to snap into place permanently.  |

The manager's name is Roger Lomshek, a super nice guy and probably the best mechanic I've ever met. He owns a small shop there in Pburg. I helped with the TT last year, it was hot..... If you get a chance, go down there and do the Tailwind RR & Crit. I helped design the crit course, it goes through the college campus, its one of the funnest I've done. Jmac |
