How to Clip Into SPD Pedals | Step-by-Step Tutorial

how's it going everyone tyler valencia here owner of time to train fitness so finishing up now our bike setup tutorials so in the first one and i'll link these up above here so the first one what we did was we just did an unboxing we unboxed the nike super rep cycle shoes and installed some shimano spd cleats on them part two of that what we did was we attached the new pedals so the shimano pedals to the bike so you could see how that process goes and the tools you need and the last part is how do you clip in and this might sound really basic for those that have been cycling already but if you're just starting out this is actually something i had to look up to i was wondering okay it's pedal it looks different how do you do that so a while back watch the tutorial it was a little outdated but i think it's very useful for those that are like okay what's next what's that last step how do i get going so what i grabbed and i don't know why i thought this was a four millimeter this is a three millimeter allen wrench and i will switch up some camera angles for once this goes out to you all but what i'm going to do first is come down on the pedal and you're going to see on the back of the pedal on both sides is a little place for the allen wrench to go and a minus and a plus so the first thing you want to do is actually take this all the way down to the negative so take it down turn it turn to turn it and i know that mine is all the way down to the left and up about one quarter turn that's just where i like it right now so that is going to be the first step put it in here and then turn it all the way to the left and make sure you do both sides so that regardless of when you're riding or you unclip get clap get clipped back in you do both sides evenly so the top and the bottom and i'll get better angles for that for you so let's act that i act like i did both sides i'm just gonna throw this in my pocket so now how do you clip in so again we'll get a better angle of this so you can see it so imagine and look at the bottom of your cleat of your shoe and look how that is shaped and the shape of this so essentially what you want to do is line that up and then apply pressure what i can do and recommend is that you have one side and since i'm going to step over this i'm going to have my right pedal all the way down so that when i do get positioned i can apply force onto that foot and then cycle over and switch feet okay so i'm gonna do that let's see how many takes it how many times it takes to do it so i'm going to place my cleat on [Music] apply pressure hear the click i'm going to switch and roughly where it should be bottom and i heard you started clipping there so i'm clipped in here with my shoes i could start cycling the way that i unclip is i just pivot my feet at the bottom i just turn them out so in or out doesn't matter and now i'm unclipped there so that is how you clip in set your cleats up make sure again the key point that i'm going to emphasize for this last one is just take that allen wrench turn that minus on there on the back of the of the pedal all the way to the left make sure you get it there and then adjust and if it's too loose for you quarter turn quarter turn just make sure you do both sides of it we hope you enjoyed this tutorial if you are wondering about the other ones that we recommended or that we talked about we'll throw them in the description we'll see on the screen you
