OTTO DesignWorks aims to remove the mystery and frustration associated with home bicycle maintenance. OTTO has developed the Tuning System 2.0, the industry’s first voice-guided iPhone vision tool and app which checks and guides adjustments of the rear derailleur ‘in under 60 seconds’.
OTTO released a beta version in July 2015 to converse directly with cyclists of all levels, gauging wants and needs regarding an app-based derailleur tuning system. From this feedback, OTTO incorporated and released the ‘premiere method to check and adjust bicycle shifting with confidence’.
Designed in conjunction with professional cyclists and mechanics, OTTO’s ease of use and step-by-step voice-guided instructions make checking the shifting ‘simple and painless’. Both enthusiasts and experienced cyclists can take advantage of the ‘intuitive and precise’ instructions.
New in OTTO Tuning System 2.0:
- A new CHECK feature that provides a thorough assessment of shifting and derailleur angles in approximately 30 seconds
- Compatibility with Shimano and SRAM 9-11 Speed components
- Now compatible with not only road bikes, but nearly all 2X MTB drivetrains
- Redesigned user interface: Following feedback received from beta version 1.0, new interface is ‘intuitive and easy to navigate’
- Accurate to +/- .125 mm, less than a single barrel adjustment
- Reduced time to ‘tune’ the rear derailleur from Beta version 1.0
- Price point adjustments, reducing price from Beta version 1.0
Use of OTTO Tuning System 2.0:
Based upon feedback from the beta version, OTTO 2.0 now gives users two ways to utilize its technology: CHECK and TUNE.
- Users can download the voice-guided iPhone vision app from the Apple App Store, and order OTTO Tuning System gauges via ottodesignworks.com or through a retailer.
- Users then follow the voice-guided step-by-step instructions in the app, calibrating the gauges with the front facing camera on their iPhone.
- With properly installed hardware, OTTO will then walk users through the rear derailleur alignment, giving an alignment score and getting them back to perfect shifting.
