SAFETY AND GENERAL GUIDELINES
While riding your bicycle, do not stare at the computer for long
periods of time (Figure 1). If you do not watch the road, you
could hit an obstacle, which may cause you to lose control and
fall.
Make sure the computer wire cannot contact the tire or wheel
spokes. The wire could be damaged causing the computer to
malfunction. Also, the wire could get caught, causing you to
lose control and fall.
TREK INCITE

INSTALLATION
Tools needed:
• Electrical tape
• Slot-type screwdriver
• Phillips-type screwdriver
• Scissors
This section explains the steps to install your computer onto your bicycle:
• Placing the computer on the handlebar
• Placing the magnet and sensor(s) on the bike
Placing the computer on the handlebar
The Trek Incite computer can be mounted on the handlebar or on the stem (Figure
3).
To install the computer on the handlebar
1. Determine your bicycle’s handlebar diameter: 22.2mm, 25.4/26.0mm, or 31.8mm.
2. Select the corresponding bar clamp
For a 22.2mm bar, use the rubber shim (provided) inside the smaller clamp.
3. Insert the handlebar clamp into the back of the computer base (Figure 4) and
slide it towards the front of the base.
4. Insert the rubber friction pad into the computer base, aligned across the
computer base.
5. With the wire pointing toward the front of the bike, wrap the bar clamp around
the handlebar.
6. Insert the screw through the washer and into the computer base.
7. Tighten the screw until the computer base cannot rotate on the handlebar.
8. Slide the computer into the computer base until the front of the computer and
computer base line up.
9. Check that the computer base cannot be rotated around the handlebar, and that
the computer cannot slide backwards on the computer base (Figure 5).
To install the computer on the stem
1. Insert the rubber friction pad into the computer base, aligned along the
computer base.
2. Insert two nylon ties through the computer base (Figure 6).
3. Place the base on the stem and tighten the nylon tie.
4. Slide the computer into the computer base until the front of the computer and
computer base line up.
5. Check that the computer base cannot be rotated around the stem and the
computer cannot slide backwards on the computer base.
6. Tighten the nylon ties and trim the excess length.
Placing the magnet and sensor(s) on the bike
The wheel magnet must be aligned so that it passes across the sensor. As the
magnet passes the sensor, it must be no further from the sensor than 1 to 3mm (1/
32 to 1/8 inch).
The wheel magnet has a ‘T’ shaped slot with two configurations: round spokes and
flat or bladed spokes (Figure 7).
Computers with the cadence function have two sensors. The shorter computer
wire is for the cadence sensor which mounts near the crankset. The sensor must be
aligned so that the magnet passes within 1-3mm of the sensor, and in line with
the small line on the sensor (Figure 8).
To install the magnet
1. Remove the screw from the magnet.
2. Slide the slot in the back of the magnet over the spoke.
For a flat or bladed spoke, start the spoke near the end where the spoke is round, and align the
top of the ʻTʼ with the spoke as you slide the magnet up the blade.
3. Thread the screw into the magnet until it is snug against the spoke.

Attaching the computer wire
The computer wire is usually longer than needed. Extra wire length can be
diverted by wrapping it around the brake housing prior to routing it down the fork
blade or down tube (Figure 9).
Make sure the computer wire is not pulled tight when the handlebar is turned all
the way to either side.
Wireless computers do not have wires. For wireless computers, see
To install the
sensor.
To attach the computer wire
1. Determine the length of wire to divert by holding the sensor at its desired
mounting point.
2. Wrap the wire around the front brake cable, diverting the determined amount.
3. Continue routing the wire, either by wrapping around the fork or frame tube, or
attach the wire to the fork or frame tube with electrical tape.
4. As needed, solidify the wire attachment with either nylon ties or electrical tape.
To install the sensor
These instructions are written for the front wheel, but apply equally to installing
the magnet and cadence sensor which go on the left crank and the frame’s
chainstay.
1. Align the sensor with the magnet.
The magnet must pass across the line on the sensor (Figure 10).
2. Orient the sensor so that the clearance between the sensor and the magnet is
between 1 to 3mm.
The sensor can be rotated around the fork blade or crank about 45 degrees.
If needed, the sensor and magnet can be moved up or down the fork and wheel to change the
clearance.
3. For the wireless sensor, install the rubber “foot” in the sensor (Figure 11).
4. Attach the sensor with nylon ties, but do not fully tighten.
5. With the computer in the computer base, check the alignment of the sensor and
magnet by spinning the wheel and noting if the computer is displaying speed.
If the computer shows current speed, the sensor is reading the magnet. If the computer is not
displaying current speed, realign the sensor and magnet until current speed is displayed.
6. Tighten the nylon ties and trim the excess length (Figure 12).

SETTING THE COMPUTER
The computer must be set, or “programmed,” so that it gives its readout in the units preferred by the
user, and so that it calculates with the correct wheel size. There are three ways to use the buttons:
• Push- touch once
• Cycle- push repeatedly as needed
• Hold- push and hold in for two or three seconds
The method used to set the computer varies according to the computer model. Follow the instruc-
tions covering your computer model, grouped as follows:
• Incite 6i and 8i (pages 7-9)
• Incite 9i and 11i (pages 10-12)
INCITE 6I AND 8I
Setting the 6i and 8i is done by pushing the two buttons in a specific sequence. The button on the
side of the computer is the
Set
button. The large button on the bottom, which may look like two
buttons, is the
Mode
button.
To set Odometer and Wheel size
