Professional cyclists spend more time on their bikes than just about anyone else in the world. So unsurprisingly they are mostly very particular about their cleat and pedal set up.
Jon found out which cleats the professional cyclists at the 2018 Dubai Tour use.
Do you like a lot of float with your cleats, or are you like Mark Cavendish and Marcel Kittel? Let us know down below 👇

speedplay for me. the ease at which i can clip in an out especially with a damaged ACL is a god send.

I have an artificial left knee. I have been riding SpeedPlay Frog pedals, which allow free float since before I had the knee replaced, (in 2001). I am 68, and have never been a racer, so they work for me really well.

It may seem like a small detail. But cleat/pedal selection and adjustment has been critical for me. It was both helpful and interesting to see how various pros make their decisions on the subject.

I just wanted to jump in and say thanks to Jon and the rest of the GCN TECH crew for giving me another reason to slip into the UKposts rabbit hole. Great content is rare these days but you guys keep delivering, every day. Between GCN and GCN Tech I am waiting for the notices with bated breath! Keep up the good work!

I ride lots of track so I have my Shimano pedals dialed all the way up and use the red 0° cleat. Sometimes I use toe straps too just for that extra security and stiffness.

Time Xpresso. I love the huge amount of float. My first clipless pedals were Time Equipe in 1990. Impossible to clip in but so comfortable.

Interesting interview, always love hearing all these small little bits from the Pro's. I would love to know how many, if any are bike tech geeks? They all have some of the best gear but how many are get geeky with new tech and how many don't care and just ride?

I have ridden a lot with Shimano dura-ace and yellow cleats, previously had Look Keos and Look Blades. The Shimano combo is a winner for me so far as the cleats last longer, the Look Blades disintegrated (rear section became detached) and Look Keo was too loose in general. The overall feeling with Shimano is of a more solid transfer of power and easier more positive clip in and out. I used to get stuck in my Look Blades. Theres enough lateral movement in dura-ace for my old knees but more than enough power and efficiency for all day riding and climbing.
