Bike fitters servicing multiple cyclists can use this tool to quickly dial in cleat positions on different types of road and mountain bike pedals. Its compatibility with Shimano SPD-SL, SPD mountain, and KEO Highway systems covers a wide range of common pedal types encountered in a workshop environment.

Everyday Home Use

For the home cyclist, this tool takes the hassle out of swapping cleats between shoes or adjusting position after changing pedals. Simply align the tool over the locking plate, mark the desired cleat location, and tighten the bolts. It removes the need for repeated trial rides to get the setting right.

Benefits and Buying Value
