Cycle Logic - Prince George, Canada – June 10-11 2010
No Valgus in this group of 5 cyclists
CW=Cleat Wedges
NO ITS (In The Shoe) Wedges were used.
IMPORTANT NOTE! Remember MOST of the time the Cleat Wedge is the solution, not in the shoe wedge. If you are not already on board with this I promise your satisfaction from your customers will go up considerably when your fits reflect more Cleat Wedges as the solution.

Average Cleat Wedges per cyclists – 2 per foot
5 cyclists = 10 feet and 9 feet needed a longer or shorter spindle
In other words only 1 foot used a standard pedal spindle.
That means NOT ONE cyclist fit with a standard SET of pedals.
All 10 feet needed at least one wedge
4 of 5 cyclists needed a short stem.
Are your averages close to this? To be honest this is a little low on the cleat wedges compared to our overall average but is a little higher on the need for different spindle widths.
Shoes – one cyclist had two pairs of shoes - SIDI and Specialized BG Shoes – Both shoes required the same number of wedges per foot. You may think the BG shoes should use less wedges. I used to think the same but I am finding that not to be the case. Next time you fit someone with a combination of shoes and one brand is Specialized try the same number of wedges for each brand – see for yourself what you find.
If you are not close to this theses figures chances are likely you are missing something.
