Last minute cleat setup??

[W@nna-BE]

hey hubbers,

 

as mentioned in a previous post, i had the bad luck of a shoe misfortune, my sole is splitting on my old shoes so i had to get new ones today, who knows of a place that could help with a cleat setup before the Argus??

 

i am trying to fit them to the best of my knowledge but i don't really want to get stuck into the Argus with a bad setup!

 

please help!!

I have a 'lose' cleat on my one pedal, I bought new shimano cleats with the yellow bits, still lose.. Which way do I turn the screwy thingy?

i wonder if you are mocking me here ??

is it loose on the shoe or when on the pedal? if the shoe:

you will always tighten clockwise and loosen anti clockwise, don't strip the screw

if loose once clipped as far as i know there is an adjustment screw underneath your actual pedal on the bike..... that should be tightened...

thank you , will also try John O'Connor Cycles, seems they close to me, i am staying in Bantry Bay so would have to ride there as bike won't fit in rental car!

Was not mocking you, I do infact have a lose left shoe. I think I may have stripped the cleat itself. It no longer helps tightening it any more.. oh well

[W@nna-BE]

ah ok sorry about that, sometimes you get some funny attitudes here

so i take it one of the 3 screws does not tighten onto the shoe??

I don't think John O'Connor do an ergofit/cleat setup.

But give them a call to check, otherwise try Cyclelab and Olympic Cycles.

you have probably been riding like this for a while with the one cleat being looser than the other best to just leave it alone experiment with adjustment next week. Besides the yellow cleats are not supposed to be fixed rather they have some float.

Which shimano cleats do you guys prefer? red or Yellow. Been riding with the yellow ones and my wife bought the red ones as replacement. Still havent put them on though....

so cleats were fine but i tightened the damn ratchet clip too tight!!!, started getting serious pains in both feet on the down hill after suikerbos climb!!

loosened them around camps bay but definitely cost me some time as i was battling to pedal, felt like nails going through my feet .... argghh so disappointed , ended up with a 3:38 on my Polar really wanted to break 3:30....
