who would take cleat placement advice from a FORMER hour record holder when you could get it from the CURRENT one?
I LOLED way too hard
Wondering how this will age...
Good advice!...still screwing around with my cleat placement even after almost 20 years of road riding. Glad to get some logic around what changes when the cleats are moved forward/backward/laterally
No one has ever done this - thank you ! tho after 20yrs riding I know my positions but still great to hear 🙏
Victor, can you please do video on pedaling technique
Thank you man in advance
That would be great!
Good point about not trusting the markings on the shoes. I've always felt things were off a bit when you try to line the cleats up with them.
best cleat positioning advice on yt!💪🏼 thanks and also thanks for the tip with the ergon cleat template 👍🏻
Great advice! I have the same tool and it works great. I would recommend to also mark the position of the 1 mtp joint line and measure the ditsance the cleats are behind it, this makes it easy to find the correct position when changing shoes also. Steve Hogg has a great article detailing how to this.
Fantastic Information and Well Explained, I never knew there was the TP1 Tool also. You are right you have some smart friends but so too are you. Thank you for sharing this information.
Perfect explanation and especially relevant as a shimano yellow cleats user myself.
Great videos Victor. Can we have one on how you setup your road bike fit? Love the way you and Adam have super aero positions on the bike. You are both similar to a TT position. It’s amazing how many watts people are saving with smart positions 👍
Useful stuff Victor, thank-you.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for sharing, this was very helpful.
New sub here from Portugal. 1st off congratulations on being such successful athlete and thanks a lot for making these videos for us `common weekend cyclists`.
I would like to hear you opinion about Steve Hogg, since the site is my "first go to place" when it comes to any bike fit issue.
1 - My toes have to be a bit outwards, if else there will be a strain on the knee tendons, which can easily lead to knee pains that linger for weeks/months. (So: be very careful adjusting the angle) 2 - find your natural foot position by sitting on a table with the inside of your knees fully against the edge, then dangle your feet: you will find if your feet want to stay more straight or at an angle. 3 - changing the fore/aft position is more forgiving but with pressure/pain on the front of your knee, move the cleats backwards so your bottom leg is more straight downwards when pushing down
Great video, Victor!
Brilliant.I’d love to get some tips on pedalling techniques for different cadences.👍🏻👏🏻😁
Hi Victor, I'm not sure if anyone touched on your point about power in squats. Squat position is very dependent on how the femur inserts into the hip socket. This insertion dominates foot position, but most often it is indeed with toes slightly out! Great video regardless!!
Interessant, dank U.
Good advice. When I don't position my feet a little bit out, I get pain in my knees
what is the effect of the cleat position on the muscle groups used in the legs? In my experience this is a big factor in cleat positioning - e.g. more forward will cause the heels to come up more because of the natural movement, and so more stress on the calves especially when the pedal is moving upwards. But so far the best video on setting up cleats I've ever seen!
It's very difficult to predict what your ankle will do when changing elements of the bike fit. That's one of the reasons they do dynamic measurements. I think in general a more forward cleat will "feel" like your saddle is slightly lower and your cranks are somewhat shorter but your calf muscles will need to do more stabilizing work when you're putting down power.
Thanks foto the video
Hi Victor,
At the beggining of the video you mentioned that you used to use another brand of cleats? Where they Look or Time cleats?
Just wondering
Look
you are the best 🤪
Merci Victor! Ik las ergens de tip plaatjes ietsje loszetten, 5 min aan hoge cadans rije en voeten uit schoenen halen (voorzichtig). Plaatjes zouden dan staan zoals voeten dat natuurlijker wijze aanraden... zever of toch maars proberen? :)
thanks, plz explain pedaling techique and saddle positioning , height , thanks again
Nice video. What is he pedal dead spot device?
can you make a video of pedalling technique
Bravo!
Had to give this a like based on your funny comment about Alex at the end Lol
what did you think about speedplay ?
I have the same bought from HK, cost about 5 Euros!
Bij naar achter plaatsen van de cleats,moet het zadel dan niet wat lager en naar voren?
video of the correct position on road-bike?
7:04 "my right foot, the heel is just slightly a bit more out"
- do you place the cleats the same? (this way the right heel goes a bit out because being possible by the float of the cleat)
- or do you place the right cleat slightly a bit more out?
thank you! great video! ;-)
Seems a good question indeed.
It’s a good idea to have some float either side of your natural foot angle, so I’d adjust the right one to suit the position as opposed to allowing this movement with float alone
GCN Belgium? :)
Which insoles do you use?
This is great! Please do more of this. It looks like you have the cleats almost as far back as they can go?
I wear SiDi size 48 and ride in same cleat position. I feel my foots more stable on platforms. If you have big foots try it. If is need put your saddle forward.
Slammed to the back.
Hansen info for the win
Do you think a shoe with a wide toebox is better than a smal one? This way the foot can spread better, resulting in a more stable position.
En wa as ge van Looks naar Shimano's wilt gaan?
Another good video Victor. But why force your feet to be straight? I pedal slightly heels in/toe out as that’s how my feet naturally hang and what feels most natural. Arch support does make me less toe-out though. Cheers
I would not suget to force your feet, I just would sugest. If your feel look realy funny. You should do some specific work on it. It will not change over time. But my feet are now already a lot straighter as at the start of my carreer. This only happend my specific exercices. Watch this vid!: instagram.com/p/wyWFWxyXJY/?igshid=128idwqpjfhht
Thanks for your reply, after seeing that video I now understand what you mean! Yours looked really twisted and awkward! Thanks 👍🏻
Victor Campenaerts What specific exercices are that exactly? Nice video! Keep doing!
Replace every month? sounds like Look cleats :)
no markers amongst your tools?
Adam Hansen uses kevlar for keeping his cleats in place. Weight gains? And why the challenge with Alex Dowsett :-) ?
Cause Alex's channel is Booring?
Voeten uit elkaar bij squats = stabiliteit natuurlijk
Als de plaatjes meer in het midden van je schoen zouden zitten, zou je dan niet lager zijn en dus meer gestroomlijnd?
Zoals Egan Bernal momenteel aan het proberen is, wat deze video analyseert: ua-cam.com/video/cicLFf9981o/v-deo.html
If the cleats would be more in the middle of the shoe, wouldn't that make you sit lower and thus be more aero?
As how Egan Bernal is trying at the moment, which this video is analysingua-cam.com/video/cicLFf9981o/v-deo.html
I get my bike fitter to replace my cleats.
I don’t think a totally straight/inline shoe is gives correct ergonomics. We’re designed to walk and run, not pedal a bike. If you look at a running motion the foot goes through a fairly large angle change and there is a predominant ankle in/pronation bias. There may not be a power difference but for knee health, ankle in should be more natural.
Have you ever tried speedplay?
They are crap. They dont offer enough stability.
@@Numeriwar so much so that half the pro cyclists buy them for themselves instead of using team sponsor cleats when they can. e.g. dowsett, wiggins and many many more
@@jamesd5241 speedplay works if stance width is perfect and your applying force verticaly. Otherwise the plastic body will wear out and then there is not much keeping your feet from rolling beside the narrow butterfly plate.
@@jamesd5241 half? That's BS.
I'm going to make a wild guess that the cleats he says need to be replaced every month are speedplays??
I would suggest look keo
Speedplay with walkable covers last me at least a year.
@@bikescience1 Keo has lasted me for 6 months now. Doesn't really look like anything keo is packaged tbh. Hm. Still not convinced.
Er is ook niemand in de comments die nederlands spreekt
Haha haha First!
Nice man
