4.1 Cleat Installation
The Giro Solara II shoes are compatible with 3-hole delta pedal systems. Follow these steps to install your cleats:
- Locate the three threaded holes on the sole of each shoe.
- Align your chosen 3-hole cleats with these holes.
- Insert the cleat bolts through the cleat and into the shoe.
- Adjust the cleat position (fore/aft, side-to-side, and rotation) to your preferred riding style and comfort. Start with a neutral position and fine-tune as needed.
- Tighten the cleat bolts securely using an appropriate hex key. Do not overtighten.
- Periodically check cleat bolts for tightness before each ride.
4.2 Adjusting the Closure System
The N-1 ratcheting buckle and N-2 strap allow for precise and comfortable fit adjustment:
- N-1 Ratcheting Buckle: To tighten, push the strap through the buckle until desired snugness is achieved. To release, press the small lever on the buckle.
- N-2 Strap: This strap provides additional mid-foot adjustment. Secure the hook-and-loop fastener for a comfortable fit. The N-2 strap is replaceable if needed.
5. Çalıştırma
5.1 Putting On and Taking Off
- Takma: Loosen the N-1 buckle and N-2 strap. Slide your foot into the shoe. Secure the N-2 strap, then tighten the N-1 buckle until the shoe feels snug but not restrictive.
- Kalkış: Release the N-1 buckle by pressing the lever. Undo the N-2 strap. Slide your foot out of the shoe.
5.2 Clipping In and Out
- Kırpma İşlemi: With the shoe on, align the cleat with the pedal mechanism. Push down firmly with your heel until you hear a click, indicating the cleat is engaged.
- Kırpma İşlemi: To release, twist your heel outwards away from the bicycle. Practice this motion until it becomes natural.
6. Bakım
Proper care will extend the life of your Giro Solara II cycling shoes:
- Temizlik: The shoes are machine washable. Remove cleats before washing. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry only; do not tumble dry or expose to direct heat.
- Nokta Temizleme: For minor dirt, wipe the microfibre upper with a damp Kumaş.
- Sole Care: Clean the sole and cleat area regularly to prevent dirt buildup that could interfere with cleat function.
- Depolamak: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure they are dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
