To clean your Bontrager cycling shoes, remove the insoles and laces, then gently scrub the shoes with mild soap and water using a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and let them air dry away from direct heat.
If your Bontrager cycling shoes are too tight, try loosening the laces or straps. Alternatively, consider using thinner socks or adjusting the placement of the shoe's tongue to allow more room.
Ensure your Bontrager cycling shoes are properly fitted by adjusting the laces or BOA dial for a snug fit. Additionally, check that the insoles are not worn out and replace them if necessary.
After a rain-soaked ride, remove the insoles and stuff your Bontrager cycling shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct heat sources.
To adjust the cleats, loosen the bolts with an Allen wrench, reposition the cleats to the desired angle and fore-aft position, then retighten the bolts securely. Test for comfort and alignment before riding.
Squeaking noises can be caused by dirt or debris between the cleat and pedal. Clean both thoroughly, and apply a small amount of lubricant to the pedal interface to reduce friction.
It is not recommended to machine wash your Bontrager cycling shoes as it can damage the materials and structure. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
Store your Bontrager cycling shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and potential damage.
Consider replacing your shoes if you notice significant wear and tear, loss of structural integrity, or if they no longer provide the support and comfort needed for efficient cycling.
Bontrager cycling shoes are generally compatible with most major pedal systems. However, it's essential to check the specific cleat compatibility of your shoes with your pedal system to ensure a proper fit.
