4.2. 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 fastened to the shoe in such a position that the
ball of the foot comes to rest on the pedal axle.
Squeaking or creaking cleats can often be silenced by applying a little
grease to the point of contact between cleat and pedal. These noises
may also be signs of wear.
Check the cleats regularly for wear, especially in case of plastic cleats.
If your shoe wobbles on the pedal, the cleat or the sole of your shoes
might be worn.
The Pedal Systems
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 tightened, 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 ad-
visable to adopt a low releasing force setting to begin with. Turn the
small Allen bolt and examine the change in releasing force when you
engage and disengage the shoe from the pedal.
Exposed springs and other components that attract dirt have to be
cleaned and regreased regularly.
Danger:
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. Risk of falling!
Note: Before mounting the pedals, check the marking
on the pedal axles first. “R” stands for right pedal
and “L” for left pedal. Note that the left pedal has a left-handed thread
that has to be tightened contrary to the direction you are accustomed to,
i.e. anticlockwise.
