One Step – Intuitive Dial Retention System
The Dial system retention system is so light and easy to use that it pretty much makes heavier more cumbersome Velcro straps redundant.
Small and Large tension adjustments can be done on the fly quickly with One-Step Dial system and it’s totally intuitive to use, a clockwise turn activates the internal ratchets and with little as 10degrees of rotational movement the dial system will begin to pull in the extremely strong woven nylon cord in small progressive amounts with each precise click.
The material that this winding-cable is made from is derived from the sailing industry so even know it looks thin it is also impossibly strong, several times stronger than a normal shoe lace with amazing wear characteristics.
The ultra-compact anchor/turnaround locations for the zig-zagging closure are made from strong high strength nylon plastic, the diminutive size of the buckles allows them to integrate into the shoes construction seamlessly. The material that they are made from is strong and slippery so interfaces well with the woven cord material to felicitate easy movement under tension, the cord is also snap-fits into these anchor locations, so it cannot pop out accidently.
The end result of this style tension systemhas more seamless integration and improved comfort in a area that encounters high stress from the pull up cycle of the pedal stroke. Improved fit and comfort also helps with improving your cadence action.
If you haven’t had a dial system before they are very easy to back off the tension, with The Big Ring systemturn the dial anti-clockwise, this disengages the ratchet system and the crisscrossing tension of the woven cord backs-off,at this stage the system is unlocked. This gives you the option of pulling on the woven nylon cord at the top of the shoe to release the tension fully to take the shoes off or just a small clockwise turn will re-engage the system again, this can be particularly beneficial if you wanted to unload some extra tension that you might havejust applied for spirited sprint or hill climb. (impossible to do this with a lace system and much harder to do with a Velcro system with any sort of controlled modulation while riding).
Ventilation
Typically, in the market place cycling shoes there are a lot of options for shoes that have little to no ventilation, on hot day your feet can swell so keeping them cool will help more than you realize.Reducing the weight and improving the ventilation shoes was the key design idea and it makes these Big Ring Kit-One shoes significantly more comfortable in hot conditions.
We achieved additional cooling by using a lightweight synthetic leather and incorporating 5 large meshed vent holes on each side of the shoe, the shoe internally is layered with padded mesh fabric this gives additional comfort and strength to the shoe but also gives a layer that sweat can be suspended in allowing it to evaporate away. For cold conditions, warmer socks or booties will keep the cold at bay.
Graphic
We use some of the highest quality inks that money can buy for extra durability, UV stability and vibrant colours for our bespoke limited production matching graphic creations. To get maximum impact from your shoe choice match them up with the match High-Compression Kit-One socks.
High Modulus Carbon Sole
The high modulus Carbon Composite sole is beautifully tailored with progressively tapered edges removing excess weight where it’s not needed and adding some feel to the shoe, the sole progressive ramps up thickness aggressively around the cleat area to be almost 10mm thick and has two central ribs branching back-off the cleat area to under the heel, to ensure the centre beam of the shoe is incredibly stiff under pedal load while not carrying any unneeded bulk anywhere else.
This thick centre cleat area gives good depth for the 3 recessed threaded bolt holes, so you get good thread purchase which will lessen the chance of bolts pulling throughfrom overnighting the cleat bolts or you should not get a problem with cleat bolts being too long and coming through to the foot bed area. In our experience, some brands have gone to thin now and it causes reliability and fitting problems when bolting the cleats in place.
Lightweight
At a feathery 375grams for a pair of size 42 shoes, makes us about 75grams lighter than a Pair of Rapha lightweight climbing cycling shoes and we are significantly cheaper. Lightweight shoes not only adds to you comfort but it improves performance, less weight to carry, less weight to spin, less weight to accelerate on every ride.
Mounting of Cleats
Three threaded bolt locations in the standard triangular bolt pattern as used by all the major shoe and cleat/pedal companies: LOOK, Shimano, Time, Campagnolo and Speedplay with correct plateare all accepted easily. Follow the fitting advise from your respective pedal companies when fitting cleats, make sure you grease the cleat bolts before fitment.
