The pedals and the shoes

Cycling shoes

(e)

should be made of solid material

to provide ﬁrm support for your feet. In addition, they

should have a stiff sole so that the pedal cannot press

through. The sole should not be too wide in the area of

the heels, as the rear stays or the crank will otherwise

get in the way of your pedaling. This will prevent your

feet from assuming a natural position when pedaling

and may cause knee pain in the long run.

Special cycling shoes are obligatory if your MERIDA

bike is equipped with clipless pedals. With these shoes

cleats are ﬁxed to the sole. They give you a ﬁrm connec-

tion between shoe and pedal and allow depending on

the model an acceptable walking position.

The main advantage is that these clipless pedals

(f+g)

prevent your feet from slipping off when pedaling fast.

They enable you not only to push but also to pull the

pedals. This makes it easier to pedal ﬂuidly and con-

siderably improves the transmission of the force as op-

posed to pedals with an open pedal cage.

The usual way to engage with the pedal is to turn it from

the lowest position of the crank to the horizontal using

the tip of the cleat and push down on the back of it.

Normally, the shoe engages with the pedal with a click

which you will hear and feel clearly.

The release force of clipless pedals is adjusted by means

of an Allen key

(h)

. If there are any creaking or squeak-

ing noises occurring, some grease applied to the con-

tact points will solve the problem in most cases. These

noises as well as lateral play of the shoe on the pedal

can, however, be also signs of wear.

Check the cleats at

regular intervals.

Make sure the fastening bolts of the cleats

are properly tightened, as you will ﬁnd it al-

most impossible to disengage your shoe from

the pedal, if the cleat is loose. Risk of an accident!

Taking up the pedals, engaging and disen-

gaging the shoes should ﬁrst be practiced

when stationary. Later on you can reﬁne your

technique in a place clear of trafﬁc.

Only use clipless pedals allowing you to en-

gage and disengage smoothly. A defective

pedal or a badly worn cleat can make the

shoe disengage from the pedal. Or unclipping the shoe

from the pedal is sometimes very difﬁcult or even im-

possible. In both cases, there is the danger of an acci-

dent!

Make sure that the pedals and shoe soles are

always clear of mud and other foreign bodies

and grease the lock-in mechanism with lubri-

cant at regular intervals.

Most cycling shoes with cleats are only suit-

able for walking to a limited extent. As the

cleats are sometimes thicker than the sole,

they provide less grip even on a non-slip ground. Be

particularly careful.
