Thank you very much for choosing the
MICROSPORT In-Line Skate Speedometer.
This Speedometer is recommended be-
cause of the easy installation and hand-
ling as well as its outstanding accuracy.
Don’t expose your Speedometer to direct
sunlight for a long period and protect the
display from extreme cold and hot tem-
peratures. Handle your display carefully
and keep it in a clean and dry state.
Before you start using your Speedometer
please read this operating manual careful-
ly.The actual installation procedure will
not take you longer than 10 minutes.
Attention:
1. The Skate Speedometer contains some
small components which can be swallo-
wed and can cause death by suffocation.
2. Always check the equipment before
skating. Check the bearings and the
fitting of the axle to avoid blocking or
loosening of a wheel.

as well. If the other screw begins to turn
freely please fix it with you hand or ano-
ther tool. Store the two screws carefully
(Picture 2) for reassembling.

3. Installation
3.1. Installation of the Wheel
First you have to replace one of your cur-
rent wheels with the Skate Speedometer
Wheel. In principal it does not matter
which wheel of your skates you replace,
but we recommend that you choose the
second or the third wheel. This guarantees
the best protection of your Speedometer
by the frame of your skate. Also we re-
commend that you replace a wheel on the
left skate if you want to wear the display
on the right wrist and vice versa.
Attention: Please use adequate equip-
ment to replace the wheel, e.g. a special
Skate-Tool (not included in this package).
1. Disassemble the axle of the wheel to be
replaced. The wheel is fixed to the frame
of your skates by two screws to the left
and the right of the frame. These screws
form the axle. While you turn out one
Microsport_Basic_11/02 11.11.2002 15:16 Uhr Seite 49

press. The second bearing can then be
pushed out from the inside (Picture 4).
2. Extract the bearings of the wheel. In the
wheel you have disassembled you find two
bearings and one spacer in the middle. You
now have to take these bearings and the
spacer out of the wheel. This is most easily
done with a special skate tool. If you don’t
have such a tool you can also use the cylin-
drical spacer (C in picture 1) in combina-
tion with a small screwdriver. If your skate
uses a cylindrical spacer you can push out
the first bearing by placing the cylindrical
In-Line Skate Speedometer Spacer C on
top of the original spacer (Picture 3) and
If your skate is operating with ring spacers
(B in picture 1) put the screwdriver through
the cylindrical In-Line Skate Speedometer
Spacer C and insert it nearly half way into
the wheel hole for the axle. By bending the
screwdriver to the side you can extract the
first bearing. Again the second bearing can
then be pushed out from the inside without
a problem. Store the bearings carefully.

3. Install the first of the bearings into the
In-Line Skate Speedometer Wheel. Push
one bearing with your fingers into the hole
of the Skate Speedometer Wheel (Picture 5).
4. Place the correct spacer into the In-Line
Skate Speedometer Wheel. Decide which
of the In-Line Skate Speedometer Spacers
you need. Principally if your original spacer
looks cylindrical you need the cylindrical
spacer. If your original spacer is a 1 cm thick
ring you need the 3 mm ring spacer. Now
place the spacer into the In-Line Skate
Speedometer Wheel (Pictures 6+7).

6. Place the distance ring D (smallest
of the included rings) on the bearing
on the inner side of the In-Line Skate
Speedometer Wheel (Picture 9).
5. Press the second bearing into the
In-Line Skate Speedometer Wheel. The
Skate Speedometer Spacer is now fixed
between the two bearings (Picture 8).
Use a screwdriver to fix a ring spacer in
the centre of the hole.
The inner side can be recognized by the
significant hole to house the computer
puck 1. The distance ring prevents the
wheel and the puck from touching and
grinding against each other.

8. Stick the long axle screw through the
frame and the In-Line Skate Speedometer
Wheel and fix it with the second, smaller
screw from the other side of the frame
(Picture 11).
7. Put the Computer Puck 1 into the In-
Line Skate Speedometer Wheel. Please
note, that the battery in the transparent
puck case should show on to the outside
(Picture 10).

The wheel is now prepared for reassembly
into your skate. Put the complete wheel
back into the frame. Picture 11
Microsport_Basic_11/02 11.11.2002 15:16 Uhr Seite 57

Attention: If the wheel moves after tight-
ening of the screws in the direction of the
axle, unscrew the axle one more time and
place one or two of the Outer Spacers A
in front of the puck and behind the wheel
to cover the distance (Picture 12).
The axle can now be put back into your
skate.
Picture 12
9. Check that the Puck 1 does not turn
with the wheel but keeps its fixed posi-
tion while the wheel is spinning freely.
Attention: After a successful installation
only the In-Line Skate Speedometer
Wheel is rotating.The electronic puck will
be fixed and should not turn.
You have completed the installation of the
wheel now.You do not need any technical
skills for the further steps. In just two
minutes you can start your first trip.
3.2. Display and Wheel Size
The bracelet of the In-Line Skate Speedo-
meter Display is equipped with an elastic
part under the actual watchcase which
allows you to lengthen the bracelet. You
can therefore decide whether to wear the
display directly on the wrist or over the
recommended wrist pads.
