a.
While cyclist is safely on a Stationary
Trainer, place velcro Knee Dot Strap
(BikeFit Part# 7040200) around each leg with
dot just below knee cap and covering the
tibial tuberosity (the large oblong portion

b.
Place a Toe Dot Sticker (BikeFit
Part# 7011201) on each shoe in front
over the second toe.
c.
Place laser
in front of
bike. Laser needs
to be in line with
one leg (toe dot).
Turn on Laser to
show a vertical line.
Adjust laser to stay
in alignment with
the toe dot. Have
the cyclist start
pedaling.
d.
Watch
Knee
Dot relative the
Toe Dot line.
Does knee track
toward the
insider or the
outside the toe
dot line? This will
help guide any
adjustments.
e.
Laser will
provide
you with a straight
line to work as
a reference
for making
adjustments to
cleats to improve
pedaling motion
alignment.
Side View:
The goal for this observation is to
determine Saddle fore/aft adjustment.
a.
Position the Laser to the side of the
bicycle. Project line to bisect the
pedal axles when either is in 3 o’clock spot.
b.
Rotate each crank to the 3 o’clock
position and recheck to make sure
the laser is in line with both pedal spindles.
c.
Knee over Pedal Spindle (KOPS) is a
good starting point for most. Some
road and mtn cyclists who spend much time
climbing may opt for further back position.
