Setting Your Bike Up For Cleats by Lachlan Soper | Sep 25, 2021 | Cycling, Lachlan Soper
The more you get into cycling, the more you’ll want to invest in equipment to improve your rides. A common upgrade is using clipless road cycling pedals with cleats. Many beginners are often intimidated by the thought of locking their feet into the pedals of a bike, but riding with cleats has numerous advantages. Once you get used to riding in cleats with clipless pedals, they can help you to increase your speed as well as help with pedalling more efficiently. Below is a helpful guide for beginners getting started riding in cleats: Getting Set Up The first step is getting your cleats set up for riding. When looking for the right pedal for you and your bike, you’ll likely find a plethora on the market to select from. There really is no need to worry that you’ll choose the right one or not because they all have essentially the same action for clipping in and out. There may be slight differences between each one, but almost all clipless pedals will have you place the cleat on the pedal with your foot, press down to engage, and rotate the foot away from the bike to release. https://lachlansoper.net.au/setting-your-bike-up-for-cleats/
