The main advantage is that these clipless pedals (d) prevent your feet from slip-
ping off when pedalling fast. They enable you not only to push but also to pull
the pedals. This makes your pedalling more smooth and increases the power
transmission compared to normal pedals.
The usual way to engage with the pedal is to turn it from the lowest position of
the crank to the horizontal using the tip of the cleat and push down on the back
of it. Normally, the shoe engages with the pedal with a click which you will hear
and feel clearly.
The release force of clipless pedals is adjusted by means of an Allen key (e). At
the beginning the setting should allow an easy release. Once you have more
practice, you can tighten the setting.
If there are any creaking or squeaking noises, which occur, some grease will
solve the problem in most cases. These noises as well as lateral play of the shoe
on the pedal can, however, also be signs of wear. Check the cleats at regular
intervals.
DANGER!
G
Make sure the fastening bolts of the cleats are properly tightened, as you
will find it almost impossible to disengage your shoe from the pedal if the
cleat is loose. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Taking up the pedals, engaging and disengaging the shoes should first be
practised when stationary (f). Later on you can refine your technique in a
place clear of traffic.
DANGER!
G
Only use clipless pedals allowing you to engage and disengage smoothly.
A defective pedal or a badly worn cleat can make the shoe disengage from
the pedal. Or unclipping the shoe from the pedal is sometimes very difficult or
even impossible. In both cases there is the danger of a fall!
CLOTHING
Cycling trousers (a) are essential if you want to sit comfortably. These close-fit-
ting trousers, at least at the inside, have special padding in the seat. They have
no seams that can press into you and they do not form folds. Cycling trousers
are therefore designed to be worn next to the skin.
Since sporty cycling will soon bring you out in a sweat, a jersey made of syn-
thetic materials is ideal (b). The fibres themselves do not take up any moisture
but instead wick the sweat away from the skin up to the surface of the materials
and thus prevent you getting cold from the cool wind produced by your speed.
On longer tours you should in addition have suitable protection against the rain.
Your SCOTT dealer will be glad to help you choose the right equipment.
DANGER!
G
Never ride with wide-cut trousers or skirts that might get caught in the
spokes, chain or chainrings. To avoid any such mishap, use suitable clips or
straps, if necessary.
DANGER!
G
For increased visibility to other road users be sure to wear striking and
bright-coloured clothing!
PEDALS AND SHOES
Cycling shoes (c) should be made of solid material to provide firm support for
your feet. In addition, they should have a stiff sole so that the pedal cannot
press through. The sole should not be too wide in the area of the heels, as the
rear stays or the crank will otherwise get in the way of your pedalling. This will
prevent your feet from assuming a natural position when pedalling and may
cause knee pain in the long run. Your SCOTT dealer has a wide range of shoes
available and will be pleased to advise you.
Special cycling shoes are obligatory, if your SCOTT bike is equipped with clip-
less pedals. With these shoes cleats are fixed to the sole. They give you a firm
connection between shoe and pedal and allow depending on the model an at
least acceptable walking position.
