With click-in pedals the shoe and pedal
are rmly connected in a vertical direc-
tion. When pedalling you can not only
push the pedal down but also pull it
upwards.
To be able to use a click-in pedal to the
full you need shoes specially designed
for the pedal system concerned and to
which the pedal hooks supplied with the
pedal can be axed.
The following description is purely ex-
emplary
Please refer to the instructions for your
pedal/shoe combination provided by the
manufacturer and/or consult your spe-
cialist dealer in order to ensure a correct
assembly and use of your click-in pedal
system.
•
Open the lever again and turn the nut
counter-clockwise again as necessary.
•
Check that the wheels are seated rmly as
described in Chapter 7.1
8.9 Using click-in pedals (optional)
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Click-in pedals are not safety pedals.
If an excessive release force is set it is
possible not to be able to twist the shoes
out of the pedal quick enough in an
emergency situation.
If too soft a release force is set the shoe
may possibly release from the pedal
unintentionally when riding.
In either case there is an increased dan-
ger of falling and injury
•
Familiarise yourself with use of the click-in
pedals.
•
Practice mounting and dismounting with
the pedals when not moving.
Sit on the saddle and hold tight onto a stab-
le object with one hand.
Click both shoes alternately in and out.
Please consult your dealer.
•
Familiarise yourself with the release on
careful practice rides.
•
Discover for yourself the optimum tightness
setting.
•
Practice mounting and dismounting at
various release settings.
•
You can nd adjustment of the release
setting in the accompanying component
instructions and/or consult your dealer.
In unpredictable trac situations and on
dicult terrain it is often necessary to
„click out“ with one or even both shoes.
•
Practice this with both feet alternately.
•
When pedalling place your shoe centrally on
the pedal so that you don‘t click in.
If need be you can then support yourself
with one or both legs on the ground.
