ERGON-TP1 Shimano SPD-SL

No matter whether pro athlete or hobby biker: the right cleat set-up can make a huge difference concerning comfort, power transmission and efficiency. Only slight changes in the fore/aft position, the stance (Q-Factor) and foot angle can have a big impact on your riding experience. Correctly installed cleats are noticeable from the very first ride.

The TP1 – specially designed for SPD-SL^® pedals from Shimano – is the ideal tool for an easy and precise adjustment of cycling cleats. It is used by many professional teams and bike-fitting specialists around the world and has proven its worth for years now.

Technical Specifications

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

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.
