PIN – Setup
The LINK TI pedal has 14 threaded holes per pedal side and can be variably
equipped with PINS. This guide shows three combinations of PINS to optimize
the connection between pedal and shoe. Alternatively, you can customize the
pedal to your needs (more grip, more ground clearance, less weight, more
flexibility to move the shoe) with individual PIN arrangements.
Important notes:
- The PINS have a screw lock, but must still be tightened with a torque of 4Nm.
- One PIN weighs about 0.9g and since there are 4 pedal sides, each additional PIN will make the pedal set nearly 4g heavier. So think about how many PINS you need and what you want to achieve with them.
- The package contains 48 PINS, because we believe that 12 PINS per pedal side are absolutely enough. If you want to install more PINS, however, they are available in specialized stores or at www.tatze-bike.com in sets of 28 pieces.
Have fun configuring your TATZE pedal!
-
Standard PIN arrangement:
This arrangement with 10 PINS per pedal side combines a high level of grip with minimum weight.
Please note the following information about the 4 unused threaded holes:- A PIN in Pos. 1 increases the lateral support. Since this PIN is exposed to obstacles on the bottom side, it also comes more often to ground contact.
- A PIN in Pos. 2 comes to the benefit of drivers who position the shoe close to the crank.
- PINS in Pos. 3 & 4 enhance the central grip, which reduces the pressure on the outer PINs.
-
PIN arrangement for maximum grip:
This arrangement with 12 PINS per pedal side provides maximum grip.
The strong PIN concentration in the forefoot (PINS above the axle) and the narrower PIN concentration in the midfoot (PINS below the axle) can be seen very clearly.
- PIN arrangement for larger shoes:
This arrangement with 12 PINS uses the available hole pattern to its full size. We recommend using this arrangement from shoe size 45.
