FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it important to adjust your cycling shoe cleats correctly?
The foot is the primary point of power transmission. Precise cleat adjustment improves pedalling efficiency, optimises energy transfer and reduces the risk of pain in the knees, hips or tendons.
Is cleat adjustment compatible with all brands of pedals and shoes?
Yes. The Shimano Bikefitting system is compatible with all brands and standards (Shimano SPD-SL, Look, Speedplay, MTB SPD, etc.). The technician adjusts your position according to your equipment and body type.
What problems can incorrect cleat positioning cause?
Incorrect adjustment can lead to power loss, numbness, knee pain or pedalling asymmetry. The assessment allows us to correct foot alignment, angle and setback for smoother and more efficient pedalling.
How long does the cleat adjustment session take?
The service usually takes 20 minutes. It includes an analysis of the position of your metatarsals and the precise positioning of the cleats under your shoes to ensure greater comfort and efficiency with every pedal stroke.
Is this service useful even for a leisure cyclist?
Absolutely. Whether you’re a competitive cyclist or a leisure cyclist, a good fit provides greater comfort, less muscle fatigue and improved efficiency on every ride.
