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.

For the best possible propulsion the axis pedal-knee-hip-joint (viewed from the front or the back) should also form a line. With the Ergon TP1 the adjustment is perfect.

Three main orientations

The TP1 - specially designed for SPD-SL® pedals from Shimano - makes positioning your cleats simple by following three basic adjustments. The first being the adjustment of the longitudinal position, next the Q-factor, and finally is the foot angle. All steps are explained in detail in the included manual in order to ergonomically position your cleats.

The Ergon TP1 offers settings for longitudinal orientation, Q-factor (distance of the feet to the bottom bracket) and foot angle.

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.

The foot is the power center for full power and should therefore be in the correct position. The Ergon TP1 helps you to find the ideal position of the cleats on your cycling shoes

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.

The correct cleat setting can prevent numb and burning feet as well as knee and back complaints. With the Ergon TP1 this works perfectly

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 - specially designed for SPD-SL® pedals from Shimano - allows you to customize the cleats to fit your specific needs.

Saves time and worry New shoes fitted in a flash

Every cyclist knows that once you buy new cycling shoes, the cleats have to be precisely mounted. It's very rare that without any guidance, the fit is perfect on the first attempt. With the TP1 Cleat Tool, you not only save time but gain peace of mind with a proper setup right away. This also allows you to easily transfer the settings from old shoes to a new pair.

The choice of professionals Bike fitters and top riders rely on the TP1

Not only do recreational riders appreciate the ease of using the TP1, professional teams and bike fitting specialists from all over the world have also relied on this tool for many years.

Easily explained Our manual makes it easy for you

The included manual provides easy step by step instructions to find the ideal cleat placement. The TP1 fits all shoe sizes and is available for six different pedal systems.
