iBIKE BATTERY LIFE
New batteries have a voltage of about 3.00 volts. As the battery is used, or in cold
temperatures, the battery voltage will drop. The iBike battery should be changed when its
voltage is 275 or less.
In summer riding conditions (70oF+) the iBike battery and wireless mount battery will last
50 hours or more before needing replacement.
In winter conditions (45F or lower) the iBike battery and wireless mount battery are cold
and their performance drops. They will last 2-5 hours before needing replacement.
For temperatures below 40oF, we recommend that the iBike battery and wireless
mount battery be changed every 4 hours.
Batteries used in wireless sensors last about one year.
Each time the iBike is awakened from Sleep, the battery voltage is checked. If the
message “BATT BAD” appears, replace the battery immediately.
The iBike also checks battery voltage frequently during each ride. If the message “BATT
LOW” appears, change your battery soon.
IMPORTANT: Your iBike will not work correctly if the battery is weak. Symptoms of a
weak battery include:
•Incorrect power readings
•Incorrect temperature readings
•Incorrect/changing hill slope readings
•Incorrect wind speed readings
•Error messages appearing on the screen
IMPORTANT: IF THE IBIKE BATTERY IS LOW, REPLACE BOTH THE IBIKE BATTERY
AND THE WIRELESS MOUNT BATTERY
USING YOUR iBIKE IN COLD TEMPERATURES
For cold-weather riding carry an extra battery with you.
TO PRESERVE RIDE DATA, PERFORM A “TRIP RESET” PRIOR TO REMOVING YOUR
WORN IBIKE BATTERY.

IBIKE SETUP AND CALIBRATION PROCESS
Before using your iBike on the road, it is essential to complete a one-time setup and
calibration process for each bike. YOUR IBIKE WON’T WORK PROPERLY UNTIL THE
SETUP PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
The setup process involves two simple steps:
1) Enter information into the iBike’s memory. This is done through “Setup” screens
and setup “Sequences” The “Fast Start” sequence is mandatory.
2) Perform a 2 mile long calibration ride
IMPORTANT: Your iBike won’t work properly until steps 1) and 2) are performed.
If you are a very fast rider (speeds on the flats regularly above 22 mph), or want to take
advantage of some of the iBike’s advanced measurement capabilities, you may want to
consider optional coast down measurements. To learn more about coast downs, see Part
Two of these instructions (pages 30-32), and refer also to the iBike Software instructions.

STEP ONE:
ENTER INFORMATION INTO THE IBIKE
Important information about you and your bike is entered into the iBike with special
screens. Information entry is organized into three “sequences”:
1) “Fast Start” sequence: six required setup steps.
2) “User” sequence: eight optional steps that the iBike owner should complete when
possible but which are not required
3) “Racr” (Racer) sequence: six optional, advanced settings of interest primarily to
advanced riders and racers
When a sequence screen is set to YES (for example, “USER YES”), clicking the up arrow
enters the sequence and shows the steps of that sequence. When a sequence screen is set
to NO (for example, “USER NO”), clicking the up arrow bypasses the steps of that
sequence; the steps in the User sequence will be hidden.
To perform a sequence, enter Setup and click the up arrow repeatedly to scroll to the
sequence you want to perform. Then, click the center button. Use the up arrow to select
YES (for example, “RACR YES”). Click the center button. YES stops flashing. Now, click
the up arrow to perform the first step of the selected sequence.
USING THE IBIKE BUTTONS TO PERFORM A SETUP
STEP
To perform a setup step, click the center button.The parameter to be adjusted flashes on
the screen. Use the up, down, left and right arrows as needed to change the parameter.
When the parameter is set to the desired value, click the center button to confirm the

PERFORM THE “FAST START” SEQUENCE
The FAST START sequence must be performed one time, for each different bicycle.
CRITICAL: BEFORE PERFORMING THE FAST START SEQUENCE, ATTACH YOUR IBIKE TO
YOUR MOUNT. SEE “IBIKE MOUNT INSTALLATON” INSTRUCTIONS FOR INFORMATION
REGARDING MOUNT AND SENSOR INSTALLATION.
Enter Setup. Note that when a new battery is inserted in to the iBike, the screen “YES
FAST START” appears automatically when the user enters Setup.
If, after entering Setup, the iBike screen does not say YES FAST START, remove the iBike
battery and reinsert it. Then, enter Setup. Your iBike will say “YES FAST START”.
NOTE: IF THE FAST START SEQUENCE HAS ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED, EITHER BY YOU
OR SOMEONE ELSE, THERE IS NO NEED TO REPEAT THE FAST START SEQUENCE.
With the screen “YES FAST START” showing, click the up arrow to start the Fast Start
sequence.
•“UNITS”
Select between English and metric units; the iBike default setting is English units. To
change units, click the center button. The screen flashes, indicating that the selection can
be changed by clicking the up arrow. Click the up arrow once; the units change to metric
(KM/hr, etc.). To change back to English, click the up arrow again. The screen again
flashes English units (m/h, etc.). Once you’ve selected the units you want, confirm and
memorize your choice by clicking the center button.The message “done” flashes and
the iBike advances to the next setup step, “TIRE CIRC”.
NOTE: TO SKIP A SETUP STEP, CLICK THE UP ARROW.
•“TIRE CIRC”
Enter the circumference of your tires, measured in millimeters. The factory default is 2096
mm (700 x 23C). Click the center button. The current setting of tire circumference is
shown and the left-most digit flashes. The digit that is flashing can be adjusted with the up
and down arrows. To select a different digit for adjustment, use the left and right arrows.
Enter your tire circumference, then click the center button. “Done” will flash, and the iBike
advances to the next setup screen, “TOTAL WGHT”.
•“TOTAL WGHT”

“EST AERO” (estimated aero drag)
•
Each rider has a different aerodynamic drag. The iBike estimates your aero drag based on
certain factors. Click the center button to start the EST AERO steps:
•Enter your body height, then click the center button to continue;
•Enter your body weight only, then click the center button to continue;
•Finally, select the riding position you use most often: Hoods (hands clasped around
the brakes); Drops (hands clasped around the bottom of the handlebars); or TT
(time trial—using aero bars).
The first choice is “HOOD NO”. The word “NO” flashes, indicating that its setting can be
changed. The default choice is “NO”, meaning that you do NOT ride on the hoods most
often. If you DO ride on the hoods most often, click the up arrow to select “YES”. The
word “YES” flashes. To confirm your choice of HOOD YES, click the center button. The
word “DONE” flashes and the iBike advances to the “TILT” screen.
If you do NOT ride on the hoods most often, then leave the word Hood NO flashing, then
click the center button to confirm your choice of NO. The screen advances to DROP NO;
the word NO flashes.
In a similar manner, select NO or YES for drops, then click the center button; if you select
DROP NO, the screen advances to TT.
“TT NO” flashes; select NO or YES, then click the center button.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU SELECT “NO” FOR ALL THREE OPTIONS, THE VALUE CURRENTLY
STORED FOR AERODYNAMIC DRAG IS UNCHANGED.
IMPORTANT: “EST CDA” STEP ESTIMATES YOUR AERO DRAG. YOU CAN MEASURE YOUR
AERODYNAMIC AND FRICTIONAL DRAG WITH “COAST DOWN” CALIBRATIONS DESCRIBED
LATER IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
•“TILT” calibration
The Tilt calibration allows your iBike to measure hill slope with extremely high precision.
To perform the Tilt calibration, do the following:
1. Set your bike on reasonably level ground. Mark the spots where the wheels touch the
pavement.
TIP: DO NOT PERFORM A TILT CALIBRATION ON A ROAD WITH LOOSE STONES OR
JAGGED PAVEMENT. YOU WILL GET POOR RESULTS.
2. Hold the bike still and upright, with the front wheel pointed straight ahead.
3. Click the center button to start the tilt calibration process.
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST HOLD THE BIKE STILL DURING THIS STEP. AN EASY WAY TO
KEEP YOUR BIKE FROM MOVING IS TO WEDGE YOUR FOOT IN FRONT OF THE BACK TIRE.

4. The screen says “HOLD STILL” and the horizontal bar moves from right to left,
towards zero. Do not move the bike.
5. Once the bar disappears, the screen flashes “turn 180 degrees”.
6. Turn the bike around 180 degrees; the bike now points in exactly the opposite
direction with the tires resting on the same two spots.
7. Hold the bike still and upright, with the front wheel pointed straight ahead. Click
the center button. The horizontal bar counts down to zero. Do not move the bike.
8. Once the bar disappears, the words “turn 180” flashes again. Turn the bike 180
degrees; the bike now points in the original direction with the tires resting on the same
two spots.
9. Hold the bike still and upright, with the front wheel pointed straight ahead. Click
the center button. The horizontal bar counts down to zero. Do not move the bike.
10. Once the bar disappears, if the calibration is good the words “GOOD TILT” flash a
few times and the iBike advances to the CAL WIND screen.
11. If you moved the bike during any of the three “countdowns” you may get the
message “BAD TILT”. If so, repeat steps 2-10, making sure you point the bike straight
ahead and hold it as still as possible during the calibrations.
•“CAL WIND” calibration
The iBike has a very sensitive wind sensor. “CAL WIND” calibrates the wind sensor so that
the sensor reads wind speed correctly.
1. Leave your bike and iBike outdoors for 5 minutes. This acclimates your iBike to
outdoor temperature.
2. If it is windy where the calibration is being performed, cup your hand over the iBike’s
wind port (at the front of the iBike) to prevent wind from striking the wind port.
3. Click the center button; the iBike flashes “Done Wind” and the top number will settle
to a value near 00
4. You can repeat the CAL WIND step if you wish
5. A few seconds after the CAL WIND step is finished, the iBike exits setup
automatically

STEP TWO:
THE CALIBRATION RIDE
The Calibration Ride improves the accuracy of your wind sensor and tilt sensor, and also
improves the accuracy of your estimated aerodynamic and frictional drag coefficients.
The Calibration Ride is 2 miles (3.2 KM) long. The cyclist rides one mile out, then turns
around and rides back on the same road.
Here’s how to perform the Calibration Ride:
1) Make sure the FAST START sequence has been completed
2) Place the iBike on its mount.
3) Click the center button to awaken the iBike. Cup your hand over the wind port
during the “Auto Wind” calibration.
4) Ride your bike to the location where you will start the Cal Ride. While riding the
iBike will show readings but power and wind speed measurements may not be
accurate.
5) When ready to start the Cal Ride, press-hold the up arrow to enter Setup.
6) Click the up arrow twice to find the “Cal Ride” screen.
7) To start the Cal Ride click the center button.
8) Your iBike checks to see when the Tilt and Cal Wind steps were performed. If these
steps were performed more than 30 minutes prior to the start of your Cal Ride, you
will be required to perform the Tilt and Cal Wind calibrations again.
9) If prompted, perform Tilt and Cal Wind. Just before starting the Cal Ride the screen
“Start” will flash.
10)To start the Cal Ride click the center button. You’ll see the following screen:
10)Begin your Cal Ride. Ride at a leisurely pace, in your normal riding position.
11)NO DRAFTING ALLOWED!
12)During your ride out the iBike center window will tell you how far you’ve traveled.
Your goal is to travel at least 1 mile from the starting point.
13)Once you’ve traveled 1 miles your iBike will tell you to turn around. You will see
these screens flash in succession, telling you exactly what to do: (Go back, turn 180
degrees)
14) When you see these messages, STOP, THEN TURN AROUND.The flashing
messages disappear the word “Bac” appears in the bottom window, and does not flash.

Copyright Velocomp LLP 2005-2011
12
TIP: IT’S OK TO RIDE OUT MORE THAN ONE MILE. AS LONG AS YOUR BIKE SPEED
REMAINS ABOVE 10 MPH THE IBIKE WILL CONTINUE TO RECORD DATA EVEN WHILE
FLASHING “GO BAC”. IF YOU RIDE MORE THAN ONE MILE YOUR CAL RIDE WILL BE EVEN
MORE ACCURATE; A FOUR MILE OUT-AND-BACK RIDE IS EXCELLENT!
14)As you ride back your iBike distance measurement will count down to zero, telling
you how much distance remains until the end of the Cal Ride.
IMPORTANT: RIDE BACK ON THE SAME ROADS
17) At the end of your calibration ride your iBike will notify you that the cal ride is done
(“Cal Done”). After a few seconds your iBike will exit setup.
RACER TIP: IF YOU DECIDE TO DO COAST DOWNS, DO THEM IMMEDIATELY AFTER
YOUR CALIBRATION RIDE. ALSO, DO NOT ERASE YOUR RIDE DATA AFTER YOUR CAL RIDE
AND PRIOR TO YOUR COAST DOWNS!
NOTICE: ONCE BEGINNING YOUR CAL RIDE, IF YOU WISH TO TERMINATE IT, PRESS-
HOLD THE CENTER BUTTON FOR TWO SECONDS. THIS ABORTS THE CAL RIDE AND
LEAVES ANY PRIOR RESULTS UNCHANGED.
YOUR IBIKE IS NOW READY TO RIDE!!!

Copyright Velocomp LLP 2005-2011
13
THE IBIKE PROFILE
The information you entered in the Fast Start sequence, in combination with the Cal Ride,
together form a “Profile”, a description of all the things that make your iBike work properly
with you and your particular bike. A profile includes:
1) total bike and rider weight
2) tire circumference
3) wireless IDs (if you are using a wireless mount)
4) calibration data (drag coefficients, riding tilt, and wind scaling factor)
Your iBike stores two Profiles in its memory, and your iBike software can store as
many profiles as you like. Any two of the profiles stored on your iBike software can be
uploaded into your iBike.
IMPORTANT: TO LEARN HOW TO STORE A PROFILE ON YOUR COMPUTER AND TO LOAD A
PROFILE INTO YOUR IBIKE, REFER TO THE “IBIKE SOFTWARE INSTRUCTIONS”.
When you completed your iBike Fast Start sequence and Cal Ride, your information was
stored in Profile 1.
You can create a completely separate profile and store it in Profile 2. This is useful if you
own two bikes or have two different riding positions (for example, hoods and TT).
Here is how to select a different profile:
Enter Setup and click the down arrow repeatedly to find the Set Prof (Set Profile) screen:
Click the center button; the default setting is profile 1

Copyright Velocomp LLP 2005-2011
14
Any Setup data you have entered and any calibrations you have performed are stored in
“Profile 1”.
To select Profile 2, click the up arrow and use the up arrow to change the setting to “Prof
2” (Profile 2). To accept your choice of Profile 2, click the center button.
After selecting Profile 2, any Setup entries and any Calibration Rides made afterwards will
be stored on your iBike in the “Profile 2” memory.
REMEMBER: YOU MUST PERFORM A “FAST START” SEQUENCE AND CALIBRATION RIDE
FOR EACH BIKE.
REMEMBER: IF YOU HAVE A WIRELESS MOUNT, YOU’LL NEED TO “SCAN” YOUR
WIRELESS SENSORS FOR EACH BIKE. SEE INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 23-26 TO PERFORM
A WIRELESS “SCAN”.
USING PROFILES
If you have two different profiles stored in your iBike, say for two different bikes, to use
your iBike’s Profile 2 with bike #2, enter setup, scroll to Set Prof, select “Prof 2”, then click
the center button to accept. Exit setup. Your iBike will now load all the settings for Profile
2 into memory and you’re ready to ride.

iBike TRIP DATA AND RIDE FILES
iBike “Trips”
The iBike gathers, stores, analyzes, and displays data as “trips”. Information from each
trip is recorded in a “Ride File”.
Generally, each time you start a new day’s ride you’ll want to start a new iBike trip. A
simple and fast “Trip-Reset” (described below) closes the previous ride file and creates a
new iBike Trip and opens a new ride file.
Also, if your iBike Pro or iBike Aero sleeps for more than 4 hours it will automatically begin
a new Trip and ride file.
An iBike “Trip Reset” starts a new ride file and resets the iBike screens with zero readings
of:
•Trip odometer
•Trip time
•Lap Timer and lap stats
•Instantaneous, average and maximum:
Power
kilojoules
speed
hill slope
wind speed
elevation gain
Starting a New Trip (Trip-Reset):
You can start a new trip and new ride file at any time. Here is how:
1. Click and hold the center button for two seconds.
2. The screen says “trip reset”. The word “trip” does not flash and the word
“reset” does flash.
3. To confirm your trip-reset, click the center button again. Both words
(“trip”, “reset”) will flash, then the main screen will return.
4. If you decide you DON’T want to complete the trip-reset, cancel the trip reset
by waiting for four seconds, or by clicking any button EXCEPT the center button.
The message “not rESEt” will appear and will remain on the screen until you click
the center button.
IMPORTANT: UNLESS YOU CONFIRM THE TRIP RESET BY CLICKING THE CENTER
BUTTON A SECOND TIME, YOU WILL NOT COMPLETE THE TRIP RESET AND YOU WON’T
START A NEW RIDE FILE!
TIP: You can do a trip reset any time, even while riding.
