Pedal Cleat

Placement as a professional Tacos
How the position of my boots? One of the questions that often get after buying a pair of pedals or new plugs. Many customers want to know how they can ensure the best location. Some customers admit that they have adjusted their position in years and asked Creek if I could be wrong.
Lateral adjustment
Let's start with the lateral position, often called the 'Q factor'. A pilot must have the legs and feet in a natural position, not force your body to pedal unnaturally. Forcing her legs wider or narrower than is natural cause undesirable results. For most of us this means moving the plugs on the outside of our shoes, allowing them to approach the crank arm as possible. Riders with wider hips will benefit from moving their cleats to the center or even the inside of their shoes to their feet to push further.
Angulation clamp
In many cases the riders did not go perfectly straight with your feet. To offset this and to maximize the float, the creek has to be angled so that when the natural position of the cove is centered on the pedal.
Heal out (farther from the handle of the ball of your foot) required for stud tips be oriented in the opposite direction of the crank. Staples therapy not required to be aimed at the crank. The amount will vary depending on the distance to the center of the foot during walking and probably different in each foot.
Front and back
Moving the front and rear clip on the bottom of the shoe line will allow the axis of the pedal with the ball of your foot. The ball of your foot is slightly behind where the foot bends when walking and is considered the best place for the transfer of power. This improve the power transfer of the shoe to pedal. If the front of the knee has been bothering him, it is likely that your bar is not centered correctly.
Small adjustments often result in large differences in sensation. We provide this as a reference to help you position your cleats properly. We recommend adjusting coves on short trips to find the optimum position. Please avoid making changes before long walks.
