Product Information
Full details
The Look Geo Trekking Grip pedals are ideal for urban commuters and versatile cyclists who want one pedal for all their rides. Their main benefit is offering both an SPD-compatible clip-in side and a grippy flat pedal side, eliminating the need to swap pedals. A potential consideration is that the grip on the flat side may not be sufficient for aggressive mountain biking.

FAQs
What type of shoes do I need for the SPD side?
You will need cycling shoes with a 2-bolt cleat system compatible with SPD or SPD-compatible cleats. The included "Micro cleats" are designed for this.
Can I use these pedals for mountain biking?
They are suitable for light trail riding and versatile use. However, for aggressive downhill or highly technical mountain biking, dedicated flat pedals with aggressive pins might offer superior grip.
How do I adjust the pedal tension?
There is a small screw on the front of the pedal body near the spindle. Use an Allen key (usually 3mm or 4mm) to turn this screw. Clockwise increases tension, counter-clockwise decreases it.
Are the cleats included with the pedals?
Yes, the Look Geo Trekking Grip pedals come with SPD EASY micro cleats.
What is the Q-factor of these pedals?
The Q-factor is approximately 53mm. This refers to the distance between the crank arm and the pedal.
How much do the pedals weigh?
Each pedal weighs approximately 350 grams.
Can I use them in winter conditions?
Yes, they are designed for all-weather use. However, performance of the flat pedal grip may be reduced in very wet or icy conditions. Ensure the cleat mechanism is kept clean of ice.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty clipping in or out
Ensure cleats on shoes are clean and properly aligned. Check cleat tension adjustment on the pedal. If cleats are worn, replace them.
Pedal spins freely or feels loose
The pedal may not be threaded correctly or tightly enough. Remove the pedal, check the threads, re-grease, and reinstall, ensuring it's securely tightened.
Mud or debris obstructing the cleat mechanism
Use a brush or water to clean out the cleat channel on the pedal and the corresponding part of your shoe cleat.
Uneven grip on the flat pedal side
Ensure the elastomer grip is clean and free from mud or debris. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Check for any damage to the elastomer insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your crank arms have standard 9/16" pedal threads.
- Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. They are usually marked on the spindle.
- Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads.
- Screw the right pedal clockwise into the right crank arm and the left pedal counter-clockwise into the left crank arm.
- Tighten firmly with a pedal wrench.
Compatibility:
- Clipless Side: Compatible with all SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) compatible cleats and shoes. Micro cleats are included.
- Flat Side: Designed for use with a wide range of shoes, though those with stiffer soles will offer better grip.
Care:
- Clean pedals regularly with water and a soft brush, especially the cleat mechanism, to remove dirt and debris.
- Periodically check pedal tension and adjust if necessary.
- Lubricate the pedal threads before installation and re-grease annually or as needed.
- Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the pedal bearings.
