Use of clipless pedals
Danger of personal injury and material damage!
Clipless pedals are not safety pedals.
If the release force is set too high, you may not be able to twist the shoes out of
the pedals quickly enough in an emergency situation.
If the release force is set too low, the shoe may come off the pedal
unintentionally while riding.
In both cases there is an increased risk of accidents and injury.
Familiarise yourself with the use of the clipless pedals.
Practice getting on and off the bike with the pedals several times at
standstill. Sit on the saddle and steady yourself by holding on to a
suitable, stable object. Clip the two shoes alternately in and out. Please
consult your dealer if you have any questions.
Familiarise yourself with the release mechanism by careful practice
rides.
Find the optimum release force for yourself.
Practice getting on and off the bike with different release force settings.
For details of adjusting the release force, please consult the component
user manual supplied with the bike and/or contact your dealer.
In unclear traffic situations and in difficult terrain it is often necessary to unclip
one or even both shoes
Practice this alternately on both sides.
Place your shoe on the middle of the pedal when pedalling without
clipping in.
If necessary you can then support yourself with one or both legs on the
ground.
