Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
These shoes are designed for road cycling cleats (e.g., SPD-SL, Look Keo). To set up your shoes:
- Attach Cleats: Secure your preferred 3-bolt road cycling cleats to the nylon outsole. Ensure screws are tightened securely to prevent movement, but do not overtighten.
- Adjust Cleat Position: Experiment with the cleat's fore/aft, side-to-side, and rotational adjustments to find the optimal position for your biomechanics. This is crucial for comfort and efficient power transfer.
- Achieve Snug Fit: Once cleats are attached, try the shoes on. Use the touch fastening strap to secure the forefoot, then adjust the turn lock for fine-tuning the instep pressure, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit. The turn lock allows for precise adjustments.
Compatibility
The Pinnacle Radium Road Cycling Shoes are compatible with standard 3-bolt road cycling cleat systems. They are designed for use with corresponding road cycling pedals.
Care Instructions
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Clean the synthetic microfibre upper and mesh tongue with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Do not place them in direct sunlight or use a heat source (like a radiator or hairdryer), as this can cause material degradation or warping.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew or odors.
