Why a Wedge?
With Wedge(s)added.
Even pressure across the ball of the foot & pedal with correct alignment.
Wedges fi ll the gap
between the foot
and pedal.
Recent studies show 96% of all cyclists are misaligned in their connection to the bicycle, decreasing comfort & effi ciency.
BECAUSE… 87% of people with feet have a forefoot that tilts up & to the inside (Forefoot Varus) and 9% of people with feet have a forefoot that tilts up and to the outside (Forefoot Valgus). ALL conventional pedal systems require a cyclist to connect to the pedal fl at-footed. Without correction, this predisposes cyclists to mechanical defects in their pedaling stroke.

Most people can benefi t from a Wedge, so remember to check forefoot tilt to see if you can improve knee alignment by using an ITS Wedge inside your shoe or external Cleat Wedges. Check each foot for tilt, as they may be different. Use the Forefoot Measuring Device (FFMD) shown below, to easily and quickly determine forefoot tilt and calculate a starting point for the number of wedges needed. FFMD BikeFit Part# 7010101
a. Kneel on a chair, facing the back, with relaxed feet extending over the edge.
b.Place the Forefoot Measuring Device (FFMD) on the bottom of each foot pushing the handle against the heel so the vertical portion is aligned dividing the heel in two equal halves. c.
With FFMD in place, position the top fl at surface of the Device (½-circle protractor) on ball of foot. Note angle indicated by the protractor. Repeat 3-times / foot to achieve a left & right forefoot tilt avg. Use this as your starting point for Cleat Wedge usage.

Place Shim stack on sole of shoe, place cleat on top and screw bolts into shoes but don’t tighten fully.
Adjust the cleat to desired position using marks on sole and then tighten bolts evenly until secure.

STEP
Mark your cleat position (make sure the marks extend well enough beyond to account for LL Shims to be installed). This step will benefi t you greatly when putting things back together.
Adjusting the Cleat position.a. Your Cleat has an adjustment range front to back (via
base plate), right to left via 4 screws and rotation on the cleat. After practicing engagement and release from pedal, readjustment may be needed for best cleat position.
b. After determining best cleat position, fi rmly and evenly tighten screw fasteners.

Ensure cleat to shoe compatibilityDo not overtighten 3 base plate screws to cause base plate defl ection to curved shoe soles. This is more often with smaller sized shoes. Speedplay includes Snap Shims with their cleats that will help (See Step 3).

Remove cleat from shoe and measure length of the existing screws. Add the size of the LL Shim(s) you plan to use to the measurement of the length of mounting screws to determine the length of new screws that you’ll need.

SCREW PICKThe BikeFit Screw Pick (part# 70010 - sold separately) is a sharp stainless steel
point to clean away debris from the smallest crevices, aiding you in the task to quickly remove old cleats and their worn down screws. This tool can be such a time saver for problem cleats! Speedplay® users will fi nd that this tool grinds out debris from the screw heads providing more contact area for a screw driver, to remove old worn screws from cleats.
