You need the hub and computer. There are some new PowerTap hubs/computers out and they're all wireless, even the starter model.jasper808 said:I currently have a Powertap SL on the rig and it is "wired." I assume that the Powertap SL can be upgraded to wireless by purchasing the wireless computer. Is this true?

But you can send your system to Saris for an upgrade.
You'll get a new HR transmitter and new puter.
Don't forget that there's also an updater for the SL 2.4 wireless to take advantage of the new ANT+ features that are compatible with the Computers like the Garmin 705. This will update to the new SL+. Cost is ~$99mattmor said:I just upgraded mine a few weeks ago. Works great and as noted it does come with a new computer, mount, usb downloader, hr strap, and software.

How long did it take for Saris to turn around that upgrade? I am considering the same upgrade to wireless for my 2 year old Powertap SL (has about 12000 miles on it) and it seems like the way to go. I just want to get an idea of how long I would be without it.mattmor said:Oh I haven't forgotten about that. It's the major reason I upgraded my wired setup. However, I was hoping it would just "work" when it came back. But the announcement for the updater came out the same day I received my wheel back
I spoke with someone at Saris on Tuesday and was told they should be shipping next week, however that's what I was told last week.
I'll report back once I have mine.

I talked to Saris yesterday and they said 500 bucks for the upgrade. I think I heard them say you pay shipping to Saris and they cover the return.kevinm said:Can I ask how much it is to return a wired SL for upgrade to wireless?
Thanks

$300 for a rebuild or $500 for the upgrade.kevinm said:Can I ask how much it is to return a wired SL for upgrade to wireless?
