Front View:
The goal is to decrease side to side knee movement. Be aware that not all cyclists will have the Knee Dot in alignment with the Toe Dot.
a.
While cyclist is safely on a Stationary
Trainer, place Knee Dot Strap (from
Straps/Dot Kit - BikeFit Part# 7090301) around
each leg with dot just below knee cap and
covering the tibial tuberosity (the large
oblong portion below knee).

b.
Place a Toe Dot Sticker (from Straps/
Dot Kit - BikeFit part# 7090301) 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
cyclists may opt for further back or forward
position.
