SHOE CLEAT ADJUSTER
The correct relationship between the cyclist's contact points
and the bicycle (saddle/handlebars/pedals) is essential for
the optimal bio-mechanical position. This is mostly achieved
with the Standard and Professional Analyses. What is still lacking
is the adjustment of the shoe cleats, which form a vital part
of model pedal/shoe systems. This is perfected with the bikefitting.com
Shoe Cleat Adjuster, which factors in the cyclist's gait and
results in several vital performance improvements, as well as
removes the risk of inevitable damage when cleats are inexpertly
adjusted. The knee stays in one line with the foot through which
no rotation takes place, and the
shoe cleat is positioned such
that the ball of the foot rests at the centre-line of the pedal
axle which guarantees optimal power transfer
In summary, the Shoe Cleat Adjuster has the following functions:
- To position the shoe cleat in such a way that the ball of the
foot rests exactly above the centre-line of the pedal axle,
realizing optimal power transmission.
- Through the shoe cleats, the position of the foot on the pedal
is adjusted in such a way that potential twisting of the lower
leg is avoided.
- Because the ball of the foot rests exactly above the pedal axle,
"ankling" is assisted which leads to a more fluid and natural
pedaling action.
- Burning-feet-syndrome will sharply diminish and in some cases
disappear completely.
