What is the offset?

	The offset is a setting on your Ergomo Sport® that allows you to adjust the wattage readout. This may need to be adjusted if it is off due to mis-calibration, extreme bicycle dimensions, or rider variability.

How do I adjust the offset?

	To adjust the offset, simply place your computer in the handle bar mount and set the bike in a trainer without resistance, or in a work stand allowing the wheel to spin freely. Put your gearing into the highest possible gear ratio, (usually a 53:12), being the big ring in front and the smallest cog in back. Connect the Ergomo Sport® to the data transfer cable. Press the middle button for 4 seconds to bring up the standard display. Press the right button briefly 3 times, followed by briefly pressing both the right and left buttons simultaneously to bring up the Adjustment/Offset screen. Press the middle button briefly to bring the screen to the Offset 2 mode. Here you will find a 3-digit number between 065 and 075. This screen will allow you to raise the offset # by pressing the right button, or lowering the offset # by pressing the left button. Remember, make small, single increment, changes to the offset and try them before making larger ones. Raising the offset will make the Ergomo Sport® read higher and lowering the offset will make it read lower. Now press the middle button twice briefly to bring up the Offset/Adjustment 3 screen. This is where you will determine the force free value of the sensor. A constant pressure must be applied to the pedals when setting the offset. Start by pedaling the right crank by hand about 4 times until you reach approximately 60 rpm’s. While continuing to pedal the cranks, press the right button briefly and continue to pedal until you hear a beep signifying the procedure is finished and cease pedaling. Once the offset is correctly adjusted, simply press the middle button once, bringing up the wheel circumference setting screen. Change the wheel circumference the same way in which you changed the offset. Once this # matches that of your measured wheel circumference in millimeters, then press the middle button to finish. The Ergomo Sport® will then begin an 85 second countdown procedure clearing the memory and dialing in the settings that have been added to the device. Once the computer is done with its countdown, simply press the middle button, bringing up the normal display screen and begin your ride.
