Thank you for choosing Positz Cleats for Shimano Pedals to enhance your cycling performance. This installation guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to properly install Positz Cleats on your cycling shoes for compatibility with Shimano Pedals. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Preparing for Installation

  1. Ensure you have a pair of Positz Cleats for Shimano Pedals, designed specifically for Shimano pedal systems.
  2. Familiarize yourself with the components of the cleats, including the front and rear sections, as well as the attachment hardware.

Step 2: Assessing Cleat Compatibility

  1. Before installation, make sure the Positz Cleats for Shimano Pedals are compatible with your Shimano pedal system.
  2. Check the cleat and pedal compatibility information provided by both Positz and Shimano.
  3. Ensure that you have the correct model and version of the cleats for your specific Shimano pedals.

Step 3: Aligning Cleats on Cycling Shoes

  1. Begin by positioning your cycling shoes on a flat surface, with the sole facing upward.
  2. Locate the predetermined cleat attachment points on the sole of each shoe. These are typically marked with indicators or symbols.

Step 4: Attaching Cleats to Cycling Shoes

  1. Start with the right shoe. Align the front section of the Positz Cleat with the front attachment point on the right shoe.
  2. Adjust the cleat position laterally and rotationally until you find a comfortable position that suits your riding style and biomechanics.
    • Lateral adjustment refers to moving the cleat horizontally along the shoe sole.
    • Rotational adjustment allows you to angle the cleat based on your preferred foot positioning.
  3. Once you’ve found the desired position, use the provided screws and a compatible screwdriver to attach the cleat securely to the shoe.
    • Follow the recommended torque specifications provided by the cleat manufacturer.

Step 5: Repeating the Process for the Left Shoe

  1. Repeat Step 4 for the left shoe, aligning the cleat with the appropriate attachment points.
  2. Adjust the cleat position on the left shoe to match the alignment you established on the right shoe.
  3. Use the provided screws and a compatible screwdriver to attach the cleat securely to the left shoe.

Step 6: Verifying Cleat Alignment

  1. Once both cleats are attached, step into your cycling shoes and engage them with your Shimano pedals.
  2. Pay attention to the engagement and disengagement feel, making sure it is smooth and secure.
  3. Walk around and simulate pedalling motions to ensure comfort and proper cleat function.
  4. If necessary, make minor adjustments to the cleat position to optimize your pedalling efficiency and overall comfort.
