Cleat extender plate - ML9 Speedplay (bulk)
Description
Modern bikefitting practices have found that there are many riders who require either a wider or a narrower stance width than what is available from standard cleats. The benefits to those riders include:
- Better and more direct power transfer through the pedals
- Better foot contact with the base of the shoe and pedal
- A potential reduction or elimination of medial or lateral knee pain
- Moving the shoe away from the bike to avoid hitting the frame with the heel
The ML9 is for riders who require a wider or narrower stance width (or Q-factor) due to their physiology. This includes larger riders who typically have a V-twin pedalling stroke or smaller riders whose feet are forced out wider than is natural. Establishing a better foot position relative to the knee can improve power production, proprioception and help medial or lateral knee issues.
Note: The ML9 loses the last 3mm of rearward plate adjustment compared with a standard Speedplay base plate. Use this plate only if you have enough rearward adjustment available on your shoe.
