FORM MTB Cleat Wedges – Precise pronation and supination correction
WHAT DO ANGLE WEDGES DO AND WHAT EFFECTS DO THEY GIVE?
FORM Bikefitting angle wedges are a specialized tool for correcting foot alignment, eliminating problems resulting from excessive pronation or supination while pedaling. Their main purpose is to:
- Angular Correction: Wedges change the angle between the shoe and the cleat, forcing the foot to be properly supported.
- Leg tracking repair: Indirectly affects the knee angle, which reduces medial (internal) or lateral (external) knee pain.
- Improved stability: Provides better control of the bike and increases proprioception, i.e. the feeling of the deep position of the foot.
- Optimizing power transfer: Correct foot positioning allows for more efficient power transfer to the pedals.
HOW ARE THEY MADE AND WHAT MAKES THEM SPECIAL?
The construction of FORM MTB wedges has been designed to withstand extreme off-road conditions while maintaining full correction effectiveness:
- 1/2 Width (Anti-Crush) Design: Eliminating the thinnest part of the wedge prevents crushing and allows the cleat to make direct contact with the shoe, improving joint stability.
- Position Stabilization (Anti-Rotate): A unique system of two locking teeth engage in the cleat slots, which prevents the wedge from rotating on the sole of the shoe.
- Angle Variants: The set offers wedges with an inclination of 1° and 2°, which allows for precise adjustment of the degree of correction.
MTB WEDGE COMPARISON: UNIVERSAL vs. V2 SHIM COMPATIBLE
| Characteristic | MTB Universal (Angle Wedge) | V2 Shim Compatible |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Directly below the SPD block | Inside the V2 Shim |
| Stacking | No (use individually) | Yes (up to 3°) |
| Main goal | Self-correction of pronation/supination | Correction for leg length equalization |
Technical tip: MTB Universal wedges are compatible with all 2-hole (SPD) cleats. If you need a greater correction angle, we recommend using them in combination with FORM internal wedges. Instructions: FORM MTB Installation Guide .
