In the case of some models the release force of
clipless pedals can be adjusted with an Allen key
(a) . If there are any creaking or squeaking noises
occurring, some grease applied to the contact points
will solve the problem in most cases. These noises
as well as lateral play of the shoe on the pedal can,
however, be also signs of wear. Check the cleats at
regular intervals.

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 an accident!

Taking up the pedals, engaging and dis-
engaging the shoes should first be prac-
ticed when stationary. Later on you can
refine your technique in a place clear of traffic
(b) .
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 an accident!
G
Make sure that the pedals and shoe
soles are always clear of mud and other
foreign bodies
(c) and grease the lock-
in mechanism with lubricant at regular intervals.
G
Most cycling shoes with cleats are only
suitable for walking to a limited extent.
As the cleats are sometimes thicker
than the sole, they provide less grip even on a
non-slip ground. Be particularly careful.

Ask your CENTURION dealer for ad-
vice about the different shoe and pedal
models. Cycling shoes come in various
styles for specific uses.
