LOOK Delta Road Bike Pedal Cleat Set User Manual

WARNING: These LOOK cleats DELTA are NOT made for outdoor and road use.

WARNING : The design and materials of LOOK cleats and LOOK pedals have been carefully developed to ensure perfect compatibility.

Use DELTA cleats only with DELTA standard pedals.
NEVER use your DELTA cleats with LOOK KEO pedals. This could seriously damage your pedals and lead to significant hazard.

LIFESPAN – WEAR – INSPECTION REQUIREMENT

The Iifespan LOOK components depends on many factors, such as rider size and riding conditions. Impacts, falls, improper use or harsh use in general may compromise the structural integrity of the components and significantly reduce their Iifespan.

Some components are also subject to wear over time. Please have your bicycle regularly inspected by a qualified mechanic for any cracks, deformation, signs of fatigue or wear. If the inspection reveals any deformation, cracks, impact marks or stress marks, no motter how slight, immediately replace the component; components that have experienced excessive wear also need immediate replacement.

The frequency of inspection depends on many factors; check with your authorized LOOK representative to select a schedule that is best for you. If you weigh 85 kg/185 Ibs or more, you must be especially vigilant and have your bicycle inspected more frequently (than someone weighting less than 85 kg/185 Ibs) for any evidence of cracks, deformation, or other signs of fatigue or stress.

PRESENTATION AND ASSEMBLY OF THE CLEATS

CAUTION : These cleats are designed to limit the risks of slipping when walking over very short distances. They shall never be used for walking over a long distance.

BOTTOM VIEW : CLEAT-PEDAL CONTACT

1. Adjustment:
   The 3 adjustment openings allow fitting the cleat under the shoe sole. These are rectangular and can be adjusted over 3mm sideways and 11mm lengthwise, making it possible to position the cleat under the sole in a precise manner.

2. plates (6)

3. Cleat fastening screws (6):
   Screws provided with cleats are M5x11. They shall be tightened using 4mm Allen wrench

4. Anti-slip pads:
   These polyurethane pads limit the risks of slipping when walking.

CAUTION: It is hazardous to use the cleat when one of its pad wear indicators becomes visible. (See diagram opposite)

1. Cleat body
2. LOOK “Silent Float” technology:
   These inserts are made from low-friction material that guarantees optimal performance of the LOOK Delta cleats with regards to durability, angular freedom and flawless interaction with the pedal.

SIDE VIEW

1. Bending radius:
   LOOK’s cleats has 150mm bending radius, providing shoe sole the required camber which is essential to make shoe comfortable. The soles of shoes used with these cleats shall also have the same bending radius, otherwise the cleat might get out of shape after it is fixed and provide inadequate foot support.

2. Axle-pedal mark:
   This reference mark indicates pedal axle position when the cleat is inserted in the pedal.

Cleat installation

Cautions: Make sure that the cleats are suitably tightened under your shoes before snapping. After replacing the cleats and before using the bike, always make sure that pedal spring tension is adequate. If release is too easy or too difficult, this might result in fall and serious injury. Fasten the cleat to shoe bottom using screws (1) and plates (2) provided (or recommended) with the cleats.

Cleat adjustment

• Step 1: Cleat side adjustment:. Center the cleat as much as possible under the shoe (sole fixing holes are located in the centre cleat openings).

• Step 2: Cleat adjustment lengthwise (at front/ backend of shoe bottom). Most experts consider adjustment to be optimal when the reference mark on the cleat (3) (indicating pedal axle) is located under the axis of inside metatarsus articulation: See diagram
  The axis of your inside metatarsus articulation is located in the centre section of foot-big toe articulation.

• Step 3: Once the cleat is adjusted as stated above. Position the pads, apply grease to the screw threads and using a 4mm Allen key, tighten the screws. The tightening torque shall be set within 5.5 -6 Nm range.

• Step 4: Engage your foot in the pedal and run a few meters with your bicycle. If your heels come in contact with the bases or if you feel that the weight of your body is greater on one side with ankle or knee supporting a heavier load, adjust cleat direction. Repeat this operation until you feel fully comfortable for push-pull. We highly recommend getting a professional bike fit to help you adjust the cleat position on the shoe.

• Step 5: Once the cleat is suitably adjusted, check the tightening torque (within 5.5 – 6 Nm range).

ENGAGEMENT / RELEASE

Engagement : Insert the cleat in the pedal in accordance with trajectory 1 and press down on the pedal as per trajectory 2 to lock the cleat.

Release : Rotate your heel towards the outside 3 and it will disengage.

MAINTENANCE

1. Before every ride, check your pedals and cleats to be sure they are free of dirt and that they are operating properly.
2. Check your cleats daily for excessive wear, and replace as indicated. Worn cleats may release inadvertently and cause you to crash.
3. Replace only with genuine LOOK Delta cleats.
4. Do not drill, paint or refinish.
5. Keep pedals and cleats away from any heat source.
