Here we have here the new Wahoo SPEEDPLAY ZERO pedals as well as the cleats fully
disassembled and we're gonna set them up on our shoes as well as our bike.
Now at first glance the cleats are a lot more complicated than your standard Look or Shimano
setup, you can see there's multiple pieces with covers and adapters so we're going to go over how
to install those properly. What we have here is our FLR F-XX shoes really great shoe good value
a carbon fiber sole you can see it's a three bolt configuration which means you do need to
use an adapter plate that's provided with your pedals. As you can see with the adapter plate
it's a three bolt to four bolt. So SPEEDPLAY is a four bolt design and it's really rare to find
a four bolt shoe although they do exist. Hopefully with Wahoo's new investment in the pedals you will
be able to find more of those shoes on the market until then you do have to use this little adapter
and adds a little bit of stack to your pedals but makes it compatible with any shoe on the market.
Now what you'll notice on the adapter is you have these little blue shims and you also have thicker
shims included with the pedals. What you want to ensure with the adapter is that it sits nice and
flush so when it's bolted down. You shouldn't really see any gaps and as you can see here it
looks pretty good so we're going to go ahead and set this up. You have two sets of hardware
you have the longer metallic bolt and then the black shorter one and you want to use the shorter
one if you didn't have the adapter the longer one if you are using the adapter as we are doing here.
Torque specs on these are four Newton meters so just definitely don't over tighten them
as you can damage your shoe or the adapter itself.
So you want to place this in here and then you can see there's a lot of adjustment so you can
actually go four and aft quite a bit and that's on top of the adjustment you have with a lot of
shoes so are really easy to find the perfect fit. So once you have this fully set up now you want to
put the actual cleats on. These are all labeled too so right hand right hand so you want to
make sure on the right it actually points to the right as this will actually go to the pedal body
so make sure you place it correctly. Then you can see this these little holes line up with the four
bolts you also want to make sure you have this protective cover on this is a little metal cover
it should already be installed but might have come off make sure it's not attached
to the actual rubber cover otherwise you're not going to be able to put this on
so if it's come off you just simply place it back in and it should just click into place
so once you have that on and corrected orientation you simply line up the bolts
and then put these screws in here. So this is where the actual four bolt setup comes
in if you didn't have the adapter plate in a proper four bolt shoe you could simply skip
that adapter plate and attach this right to the bottom of the shoe for a very low stack height.
The torque on these supposed to be 2.5 Nm but again just don't over tighten it.
Here you can see you can also adjust the left and right positioning. I've left it centered here
but you could easily loosen this and go left and right for a better fit depending on your anatomy.
So once you have that tight
the last step is to simply place the walkable cleat cover on. Again orientated correctly you
want the little cutout to be pointed toward the actual cutout in the cleat
and they simply snap into place they just provide some tension.
There you go so you can see once it's installed properly everything should be nice and flush.
If you ever need to take these off to make any adjustments there's a little
a cutout here so you can put a little flathead and then pop this off really easily.
