User manual BIKE NASHBAR NASHBAR TOURMALET ROAD PEDAL

[. . . ] Tourmalet Road Pedal Congratulations on your purchase of Nashbar pedals. To install and adjust your new pedals you will need: · 15 mm pedal wrench · 3 mm allen wrench · 4 mm allen wrench !v WARNING · Before attempting to ride with these pedals, make sure you understand how to release your shoes from the pedals. [. . . ] Note: Use only Nashbar Tourmalet Road Cleats (NS-TRMC) with your pedals. If necessary, remove the patch covering the cleat attachment slots on the shoe sole (see Figure A). Install cleat with arrow on cleat face pointed forward, and the ridged surface against the shoe sole (see Figure B). Center the cleat under the ball of the foot by sliding the cleat forward or rearward along the cleat mounting slots. The cleat can also be adjusted a few millimeters from side to side (see Figure C). Cleat position can be fine-tuned during test rides by loosening the cleat bolts, repositioning the cleat, and retightening the cleat bolts. Always ensure the cleat bolts are tightened securely before riding. B C Binding Tension Adjustment 1. Locate the binding tension adjustment bolt at the rear of each pedal (see Figure D). Increased tension will produce a more secure shoe/pedal connection, but will make engagement and release more difficult. To decrease spring binding tension, turn the bolt in a counterclockwise direction. Decreased tension will produce a less secure shoe/pedal connection, but will facilitate engagement and release. Overtightening may strip the threads, while over-loosening may cause the bolt to fall out of the adjustment plate. IMPORTANT: Binding tension settings should be equal for both pedals to ensure uniform entry and release. Therefore, if you make an adjust ment to the tension setting for one pedal, you should make the same adjustment to the other. D D + Tension adjustment bolt E !v WARNING Minimum binding tension settings are recommended for novice riders and for riders in situations requiring frequent cleat release, such as on difficult terrain or in heavy traffic. Engage cleated shoes in pedals by stepping down on top of the pedal with the toe pointed slightly downward. [. . . ] Occasional lubrication of cleat bolts will help prevent rust and seizure. Oil or light grease should be applied occasionally to rear binding tension springs. Cleats that are badly worn may impair release from the pedals, and should be replaced.
