Correctly installed cleats are noticeable from the first ride with the rider experiencing more power, more comfort, and more efficiency. The Ergon TP1 allows for the accurate adjustment of the three axis which are important when installing cleats: fore/aft position, the stance (Q-Factor), and foot angle. While pedaling, leg power is transformed over your feet into propulsion. Therefore the right position of the feet is of the utmost importance, as it determines performance and comfort. The TP1 is the first tool for the precise and easy adjustment of cycling cleats. It is used by many professional teams and bike-fitting specialists around the world.

Precise ergonomics

When cycling, the power of the legs is directly transferred through the pedals with each revolution. The placement of the pedals plays a decisive role in the power transfer efficiency. The ball of the foot must be positioned exactly above the axis of the pedal. Additionally, when viewing from directly in front of the rider or behind, the placement of the pedal should form a line from the axis of the pedal to the knee to the hip.

Three main orientations

The TP1 makes specifically orientating your cleats simple by following three basic adjustments. The first being the adjustment of the longitudinal orientation, next the Q-factor, and finally (excluding Speeedplay pedals) is the foot angle. All steps are explained in detail in the included manual and comprise the main guide to ergonomically positioning your cleats.

Comfort leads to performance

Many cyclists still believe that your feet cannot be both comfortable and produce the best possible power transmission. This is a misconception. The stiffest carbon sole is of little use if discomfort prevents maximum pressure on the pedal with every pedal stroke. The foot is a power center that can only develop its full power in an ideal, comfortable position.

No more burning feet

Our TP1 Cleat Tool effectively helps you to avoid incorrectly applied loads. Numb and burning feet are the most common complaints that can quickly take away the fun of cycling. A misaligned cleat placement can also be partly responsible for knee, hip or back pain.

COMPLETELY INDIVIDUAL – The right position for every cyclist

Not only is every foot different, every cycling shoe also has a slightly different design. No matter which shoe you choose, the TP1 allows you to customize the cleats to fit your specific needs.
