To position your foot correctly on the
pedal:
a) Bring the pedal down to its lowest
position.
b) With the toe of your shoe pointing
downwards, position the hook nose of the
shoe in the front pedal insertion point.
c) When the hook nose is positioned
correctly in the pedal, push the whole
surface of the foot sharply downwards
until the clamping mechanism clearly and
audibly engages.
•
The shoe is now firmly vertically connected
with the pedal.
•
Depending on the pedal system, the shoe
has sideward freedom of movement.

To loosen your shoe from the pedal:
•
Twist your heel sharply away from the bike.
With click-in pedals, the shoe and pedal
are firmly connected in a vertical direc-
tion. When pedalling, you can not only
push the pedal down but also pull it
upwards.
To be able to use a click-in pedal to the
full, you need shoes specially designed
for the pedal system concerned and to
which the pedal hooks supplied with the
pedal can be affixed.
The following description is intended
purely as an example.
Please refer to the instructions for your
pedal/shoe combination provided by the
manufacturer and/or consult your speci-
alist dealer in order to ensure that your
click-in pedal system is correctly assem-
bled and you use it correctly.
•
Open the lever again and turn the nut
counter-clockwise again as necessary.
•
Check that the wheels are seated firmly as
described in Chapter 7.1

using click-in pedals (optional)
Risk of Personal injury and Material
damage!
Click-in pedals are not safety pedals.
if an excessive release force is set, it is
possible that you will not be able to get
your shoes out of the pedal quick enough
in an emergency situation.
if too soft a release force is set, the shoe
may possibly become disengaged from
the pedal unintentionally when you are
riding.
in either case, there is an increased dan-
ger of falling and injury.
•
Familiarise yourself with the click-in pedals
and how to use them.
•
Practise mounting onto and dismounting
from the pedals when not moving.
Sit on the saddle and hold onto a stable
object with one hand.
Click both shoes alternately in and out.
Please consult your dealer.
•
Familiarise yourself with the release on
careful practice rides.
•
Discover for yourself the optimum tightness
setting.
•
Practise mounting and dismounting at
various release settings.
•
You can find details on how to adjust the
release setting in the accompanying parts
instructions and/or consult your dealer.
in unpredictable traffic situations and on
difficult terrain, it is often necessary to
"click out" with one or even both shoes.
•
Practise this with both feet alternately.
•
When pedalling, place your shoe centrally
on the pedal so that you don‘t click in.
If need be, you can then support yourself
with one or both legs on the ground.
