Note: The Left pedal can be identified by the small groove in the axle near the threads in the axle flange.

1. Apply grease to the pedal threads.

2. Install a washer between the crank arm and pedal.

3. Install the Left pedal by turning the axle counter-clockwise by hand. Install the Right pedal by turning the axle clockwise by hand.

4. Tighten the Left pedal by turning an 8 mm hex wrench clockwise from the back side of the crankarm. Tighten the Right pedal by turning the hex wrench counter-clockwise from the back side of the crankarm.

10° release angle ("ATAC EASY" cleats): Position the cleat marked G/L under the left sole. Position the cleat marked D/R under the right sole.

13° release angle: Position the cleat marked G/L under the left sole. Position the cleat marked D/R under the right sole.

17° release angle: Position the cleat marked D/R under the left sole. Position the cleat marked G/L under the right sole.

1. Apply grease to the cleat screws.

2. Loosely install the cleat screws (A) through the cleat and into the sole. If desired install the shoe shield (B) between the cleat and shoe.

Note: Shoe shield (B) can be used to protect the sole of the shoe and is not required for cleat install.

3. Position the cleat in desired position and tighten the screws.

4. Tighten the cleat screws to the specified torque.

Engaging the pedal ("clipping-in") Place the front of the cleat into the hook at the front of the pedal then step down on the pedal to engage. There will be an audible "click" when the cleat is engaged.

Disengaging the pedal ("clipping-out") Rotate your heel away from the bike to release the cleat from the pedal. Release angle varies based on cleat selection or orientation.

Engage your foot to the pedal and go forward a few meters. Make sure your heels do not touch the chainstays or crankarms, and the movement is as natural as possible, without forcing your ankle or knee. If this is not the case, modify the position of the cleat under the shoe.

ATAC XC pedals (6, 8, 10, 12)

The adjustment screw can change the force required to release from the pedal, allowing you to adapt to your physical condition, the terrain, the discipline, etc.

The screw is factory-set to position 1, the lightest release tension. Turn the screw clockwise to position 2 for moderate release tension, and position 3 for strong tension release.

The SPECIALE and XYSTO pedals have an adjustment screw on both sides of the pedal to change the force required to release from the pedal. When set to the lightest release force, the screw is flush with the body of the pedal. To increase the required release force, turn the screw on the opposite side of the pedal clockwise a maximum of 2 full rotations. Repeat for the screw on the other side of the pedal.

Grip screws can be added to the SPECIALE and XYSTO pedals platform to improve shoe grip on the pedal. Adjust the height of the screws to suit your requirements, not exceeding 3 mm above the pedal platform.
