Thank you. The instructions that come with the TP-1 are far from usable and their videos left out so much, I felt compelled to show how it should be done correctly. The system does work, but only with in our video including taking a photo of your normal stance for cleat setup. Regards, Tony
Obtain the correct TP1 for the cleat you use (SPD, Look, etc.). Let me know how it works out for you. My viewers and I would be interested. Regards, Tony
I majored in chemistry and math in college so it come natural to me. And it's a whole lot easier when taking measurements or converting unit. Thanks for the compliment. Regards, Tony
Does a pretty good job, putting you in the right ball park. But you still may have to make some minor adjustment depending on how much your toe points inward or out. Regards, Tony
Thanks for such a comprehensive video, very useful, I think i need to get one of the alignment tools. One question if I may what is the clamp mechanism you have fitted to your work stand, the stand looks like a parktool but the clamp looks different
The stand is a 20 year old, all metal, Park Tool Stand with a special attachment (no longer sold) to raise the bike up higher and make it easier to work on the bike without bending over. They made good parts (no pastic) in the "good old days." Thanks for asking. Regards, Tony
Maybe the angle of the camera shot or possibly the sticker was not on the perfect vertical as it should be. However, it did work very well. Thanks for noticing. Regards, Tony
RAD Kit™ Rotational Adjustment Devices are used by some for cleat setup. Using computerized cameras, it's used for complete bike fit and is expensive. I, myself, have not used this setup device.
My mountain bike is broken whenever I pump it up it loses its air straight away like it’s not the pump it’s the valve and it won’t pump up it will stay flat
@@__d_k__5300 Try the pump on another tire. If that also fails, it's probable the pump head is not grabbing onto the Presta valve firmly. See: ruclips.net/video/20wPVl19Zjw/видео.html And: ruclips.net/video/Hmd7tilb9OE/видео.html& If the pump fails on just one of the tires, theirs a problem with the valve and the tube should be replaced. Finally, it's important that the tire bead is seated correctly as you pump up the tube. Let me know how you make out.
Do Ergon advise that the cleats should be installed off-centre according to one's off-bike standing stance, or do they recommend that cleats should be installed perfectly symmetrically?
As I recall, the answer is that the cleat should be installed off-center according to stance. For me, the lateral movement is so small, it never seemed to make a difference. What made more of a difference for me, since my heel kept hitting the crank arm was that I installed a 2.5 mm thick large washer (27 mm outside diameter) on the pedal spindles before installing the pedals. I had to file down the hole in the washer to fit on the spindle. Once the pedal was tightened, the washer stayed in place and my heel no longer hit the crank and my feet were a little more apart and more comfortable. I could use up to 2 washers on each pedal spindle and still have a nice tight pedal. Good question. Tony
The way you explain things and show what you're doing is very comprehensive and easy to follow. Thanks for doing these videos

Thanks Tony. I just received the TP1. Your video gives me the confidence I need to proceed. Great video !
Great. Let me know what you think and how you make out with the TP1. Safe cycling, Tony
Same here. I just ordered my TP1.
Great video Tony, thank you. The tips at the end are great for fine tuning.
Thanks. Use the fine tuning tips even if you use other methods to apply the cleats (of any type). Regards, Tony
Wow !, That was interesting, I didn't know such a system existed. I have 2 new pairs of shoes to mount cleats . Thanks, going shopping. KB.

nice explanation with the toe direction at 7:00 always irritates me

What is the evidence that the spindle center should be several mm behind the large toe metatarsal?
See: www.pedalpt.com/fit-your-own-cleats/
Regards, Tony
Several mm's back is becoming common practice now, particularly in Europe.
The mark for the rear of the shoe in scenario 2 looks different from scenerio 1. Why is that?
Maybe the angle of the camera shot or possibly the sticker was not on the perfect vertical as it should be. However, it did work very well. Thanks for noticing. Regards, Tony
Does shoe size make a difference.
No, not from our use of the Ergon TP1. Regards, Tony
Are there other cleat fitting systems out there?

Is this a tubeless tire? Is the bead mounted correctly? Can you hear it leaking from the Presta or Shrader valve which may have to be replaced?
Tony Marchand it is not a tubeless tire and yes I can hear the air leaking from the presta valve
