How it works: The Aerobar Edge allows triathletes and cyclists to analyze and maximize their

own personal aero position tendencies (aeronalysis) through the integration of a small, easy to install

device with the user's GPS device. The Aerobar Edge keeps track of the time a rider is in the aero

position by recording the input from a small pressure sensor placed under one of the aerobar pads.

The recorded data is uploaded via Bluetooth and smart phone app to the user's online "My

Aerolab" where the data is integrated with the output from a GPS device or cycling computer.

Installation: To install the Aerobar Edge, simply remove (un-velcro) the pad on the non-

dominant side of your aerobars (ie, if you are "right handed" then remove the left pad) and place the

pressure sensor under the pad and replace the pad over the top of the sensor. It is critical the sensor

is placed in the location where your forearm provides the most pressure when riding in the aero

position in order for the sensor to produce the most accurate results. Attach the arrowhead unit to

the underside of the handlebars or arm pad using the included fastening tape. Be sure to place the

arrowhead unit on the same side of your aerobars as the sensor without impeding your hand

position when out of aero. IMPORTANT: be certain that the wire between the sensor and the

arrowhead unit is not routed in a way that will limit your turning radius or impact steering ability.

Any excess length of wire can be zip-tied to the handlebars if desired.

The technology involved: The device uses the time stamp tied to the clock on your smart

phone to record your time in aero. The recorded data is easily uploaded to the analytics page on the

Aerobaredge.com website. This allows the user to cross-reference data from their other devices

(Garmin, Polar, Timex and others) either directly or via a simplified Strava upload option.

Bluetooth connection: The Aerobar Edge utilizes a Bluetooth connection between the device

and the Aerobar Edge app on either an iOS or Android smart phone. This connection allows the

user to determine the battery life of the arrowhead unit and upload recorded data to the app which

automatically transmits the information to the online analytics section called My Aerolab at
