Chip rental

Focus on your performance, we’ll take care of the rest.

MyLaps chips (or transponders), combined with the CNCB Timing system, offer a simple and effective way to keep track of your training performance. Once the chip is mounted on your bike’s fork, you can train and enjoy all the benefits this turnkey system has to offer!

• • Get ultra-precise times
    The system automatically records each lap on the velodrome tracks with an accuracy of approximately 0.003 seconds, providing ultra-reliable data for each lap.

• • Analyze by track segments
    Seven markers spaced along the track provide split times: full lap, 200-meter sprint, entry into or exit from a turn.

• • View Your Data in Real Time
    The CNCB screens display your times instantly, and everything remains accessible afterward on your personal dashboard.

• • Track Your Progress Over Time
    Each session is saved: identify your weakest segments and adjust your training.

• • Add Your Watts and Heart Rate
    When you pair a power meter or an ANT+ heart rate monitor with your account, your watts and heart rate are added to your rides.

• • Make the Most of Your Time with Your Coach
    Free from the pressure of the stopwatch, your coach can focus on technique, tactics, and analyzing your data.

• • Make Your Workouts More Motivating
    Compare your performance to the best laps of the session or challenge your teammates.

Installation

Proper installation is essential to ensure a reliable signal and accurate timing. Here is a concrete diagram:

• MyLaps ProChip Flex Chip
  The ProChip Flex transponder is typically attached near the fork using a bike strap, a dedicated mount, or plastic zip ties.
  • The chip must be oriented correctly (follow the diagram provided with your chip);
  • The chip must be placed on the front fork, as low as possible, secured with two tightly fastened clips.
  • The chip must never be installed on the wheel or under the seat.

The service counter will provide you with the fasteners and an illustrated installation guide. If you have any questions, ask a staff member to check them before you head out onto the trail.

Your personal dashboard

Your data is available online almost instantly on your cell phone. It is private: only your personal access code, which you received by email, allows you to access it.

To view your dashboard:

1. Visit CNCB Timing, or scan the QR code at the customer service desk or along the track.
2. Enter your access code.
3. Check your data!

Access your data

Subscription has expired

Your rides will continue to be recorded under your name. Renew your subscription, and you’ll regain access to everything, including the rides you’ve logged in the meantime.

Integration with other applications

At this time, there is no direct integration with Strava, TrainingPeaks, or other training apps.

If integration with other platforms becomes available, the CNCB will provide that information.

Battery life span

The battery life of a MyLaps ProChip Flex chip is approximately 5 years. This means you don’t have to worry about recharging or replacing the battery during the rental period of your chip.

Data that does not seem to be recording

If you think your data isn’t being recorded or your times aren’t showing up, carefully check that the chip is properly installed on your bike and make sure your rental period or subscription hasn’t expired. If the problem persists:

1. Report it to a coach or CNCB staff member immediately, without waiting until the end of the session.
2. Staff will check:
   • the position of the chip on the bike;
   • transponder status (battery);
3. If the problem persists, the staff can provide you with another chip at no charge. Your subscription, code, and usage time will carry over.

Lost Chip

The $50 deposit is retained, and the new chip costs $75 plus tax, plus a new $50 deposit.

Forgot your access code

Please contact the front desk. You will receive a new code, and the old one will no longer work.

Questions and other issues

If you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact the reception desk or the CNCB rental counter. The team members can:

• • answer your basic questions;
  • check the installation of your chip;
  • test a transponder that appears to be faulty;
  • refer you to a technical manager if the situation requires it.
