Cleat Adjustment
What is it
“Cleat adjustment” is first and foremost a fundamental biomechanical adjustment. it allows the cyclist to correctly position their foot in perfect alignment with the pedal which guarantees the most effective power transfer during the pedal stroke.
How does it work
After careful examination of the cyclist’s feet, the client is asked to step onto CleatVelò , standing in a straight upright position, wearing their cycling shoes with the cleats firmly inserted into the specially deisgned template for cycling shoes.
In order for the technician to find the ideal cleat position they will use specially made laser technology that allows to check the alignment. The technician then adjusts the shoe and as a consequence the cleat position. Whether that is to move it forwards, backwards or to rotate the angle of the cleat.
