Revive DX Cycle Computer

For your convenience a cycle computer has been integrated into the Reive DX handlebar. To avoid theft or damage while parked or transporting Revive, the computer can be easily removed. (For instructions on how to operate the cycle computer’s features, please refer to the instruction manual.)

Removal and Installation of Cycle Computer

The Cycle Computer is held in place by a locking mechanism integrated into the handlebar, located on the underside of the handlebar’s crossbar. To remove the computer, reach under the crossbar and turn the knob clockwise (to the right) to release the latch holding the computer in place. Lift the computer out of the bar.

To replace the computer, place the unit so that it rests evenly in the receptacle and turn the locking mechanism knob counter clockwise (to the left). Check that it is securely in place before riding the Revive.

If speed is not being recorded, check to see that the sensor, located on the right fork blade, is in line with the dots located on the wheel cover, closest to the hub.
