16.2 Adjustment and maintenance
Current pedal systems can show considerable
differences in design.
Nevertheless, there are some general rules
for adjustment which apply to all of them:
The cleat has to be attached to the shoe in a
position allowing for the ball of the foot to rest
on the pedal spindle.
Your feet should assume a natural position
when pedalling. For most people this means
that the heels will point inward a little. Make
sure the fastening bolts are properly tight-
ened, as you will find it almost impossible to
disengage your shoe from a loose plate!
Adjust the required releasing force according
to your needs. It is advisable to adopt a low
initial tension to begin with. Turn the small
Allen bolt and examine the change in initial
tension when you engage and disengage the
shoe from the pedal.
16. The pedals
Exposed springs and other components that
attract dirt have to be cleaned and regreased
regularly.
Squeaking or creaking cleats can often be
silenced by applying a little grease to the
point of contact between cleat and pedal. It
may also be a sign of wear.
Regularly check the cleats for wear, especially
if they are made of plastics.
If your shoe wobbles on the pedal, it is prob-
ably because the cleat or the sole of your
shoes are worn.
If there is a clicking noise, apply a
little MOTOREX spray oil to the area
around the bearings and shock bases.
Be sure to thoroughly read the oper-
ating instructions of the pedal and
shoe manufacturers. Your MERIDA dealer
will be pleased to help you, if you should
have any questions.
Only use clipless pedals that allow
you to engage and disengage smooth
-
ly. A defective pedal or a badly worn cleat
can lead to an accident by causing the shoe
to come off by itself.
