Tactic Clip-In Pedals

Yes, SPD-compatible cleats are included in the box with every pair of Tactic pedals. You’re ready to ride straight out of the box!

To keep your pedals in top shape, we provide Clip mechanism replacement kit and Axle Replacement Kits as available spare parts.

For guidance on both removing and replacing the axles, please refer to our service manual.

Yes — the binding tension is adjustable on each pedal. Winding the tension screw in holds the cleat more firmly; winding it out lets the cleat release with less effort. Set both pedals the same, and if you are new to clip-in pedals start at the loose end and work up as the movement becomes automatic.

The Tactic releases at 18 degrees and gives 5 degrees of float. Float is how far your heel can swing side to side while you are still clipped in — it stops your knee being locked into one exact position. Release angle is how far you twist your heel before the cleat lets go; 18 degrees is a normal, predictable amount rather than a hair trigger.

The Tactic is the cross-country pedal: a forged AL6061 body, a minimal 54 x 44mm platform, 325g a pair and adjustable binding tension. The Clast is the versatile one — a clip mechanism on one side and a flat platform with pins on the other, an ADC10 die-cast body, a 73 x 92mm platform and 385g a pair. Both take SPD-compatible cleats with the same 18 degree release and 5 degrees of float. Take the Tactic if you are always clipped in and counting grams; take the Clast if you sometimes want to ride in ordinary shoes.

Yes. The two-bolt SPD system the Tactic uses is the default choice for gravel riding — the cleats sit recessed in the shoe so you can walk normally, and the open mechanism clears mud better than road systems. It fits any crank with a standard 9/16 inch pedal thread, and at 325g a pair it gives away nothing on weight. Set the tension light for long days, firmer for racing.
