Cleat Setup: Your connection to power

TL;DR: Your cleats are the critical link between your body and the bike. Even a millimetre off can cause pain, numbness, or lost power. Our Cleat Setup Session fine-tunes your cleat position to maximise comfort, efficiency, and injury prevention so every pedal stroke counts.

Your cycling shoes and cleats are your only contact point with the pedals. They allow for smooth power transfer, pain-free riding, and improved performance when positioned correctly. A poor setup, however, is one of the fastest ways to develop knee issues, foot discomfort, and wasted energy.

Why cleat position matters

Cleat alignment may seem minor, but the impact is massive. Even a single millimetre can make or break your ride. Common issues from poor cleat setup include:

• Knee Pain: Misalignment is a leading cause of stress and irritation in the knee joint.
• Hot Spots & Numbness: Pressure on the wrong part of the foot reduces comfort and endurance.
• Reduced Power: Poor alignment means energy is lost every time you push the pedals.
• Foot & Ankle Pain: Incorrect float and rotation stress your joints.

What to expect from your session

The Cleat Setup Session is a focused, technical service that delivers precision adjustments for your unique anatomy and riding style. During your session, we will:

• Assess your foot’s natural alignment and position.
• Adjust the fore/aft cleat position to align with the ball of your foot.
• Fine-tune the rotational angle to match your natural foot movement.
• Set the side-to-side placement for correct stance width.
