Cleat Questions Regarding hot foot
Recently after making some seat height changes I am now
getting some hot feet issues. I am trying moving the cleats around but not having much luck. Any ideas? I have spd. Does moving the cleat back put ones foot more forward or is it the other way around? Thanks, Barb L |

Moving the cleat back pushes the foot forward on the pedal so you are pedaling more with the part of your foot behind the ball of your foot. Pedaling more flat footed. |

Move the cleat back along the sole of your shoe, so your foot is further forward over the pedal. Leave your shoes (laces, latches or velcro straps) a litle loose on our feet. Try shoes one size bigger. Cultivate a smooth, round pedalling action instead of mashing down on the pedals. Keep the gears a little lower and pedal at a higher cadence. Become aware of muscle tone in your feet, so that part of the pedalling force comes from your toes, not just the ball of the foot. Wriggle your toes in your shoes from time to time. Good luck. A |
