Time ATAC cleat angle grind/file

[Bill]

My left knee needs a little more heel out than I can get with the Time ATAC
cleat. Has anyone done a little grinding or filing on the time cleat to
increase it's angular range without the springs trying to re-center.

Have you tried re-positioning the shoe plate?

Just a thought.

No rotational adjustment is available, only fore and aft. I can torque it
around a degree or two but not enough.

Speedgoat.com has Time cleats which have been filed to alter them slightly.
This modification might be helpful.

Thanks, I just printed a large copy and am heading to the basement for a
little fine tuning with the Dremel.

I solved a similar problem by splitting the nut plate in the shoe. I
took out the nut plate, hack sawed right down the middle, then
replaced the two halves back in the shoe. Now I can adjust the cleat
angle a little.

Yep, worked great. I did not relieve any of the rear capture tab. Release
was not a problem. I removed a little of the material on the front right
and rear left and that gave me the additional right foot heel out I needed.
Thanks.

Also, I really liked diane_1234's suggestion about splitting the plate with
a hacksaw. Unfortunately this pair of shoes does not have access to the
plate. My old, and to small, ones did.

Oops, got the left and right swaped. Material came off the front left and
the rear right to get the left heel rotated further out. Bill
