FORM Cleat Pick & Poker Set – Professional tool set for cleaning cleats and shoes
APPLICATIONS AND WORKSHOP BENEFITS
The FORM Bikefitting tool set is an indispensable piece of equipment for every bicycle service center and home workshop. It has been specifically designed for precise cleaning of mounting components in cycling shoes, which directly translates into ease of service and durability of components:
- Removing stubborn dirt: The tools allow for quick removal of dried mud, stones, and deposits from inside the cleat screw recesses, washers, and mounting holes in the shoe sole.
- Protecting screw heads: Thorough cleaning of the screw head (e.g., Allen or Torx socket) allows the key to fully engage, preventing stripping and damage to the screw during removal.
- Prying off stuck components: The special tip profile facilitates safe prying and lifting of washers and cleats that have firmly adhered to the shoe sole due to accumulated dirt, dust, and moisture.
- Thread safety: Regular removal of contaminants from mounting holes protects delicate threads inside the sole from damage and corrosion.
PRODUCT DESIGN AND CHARACTERISTICS
The set consists of two specialized tools designed to work with the toughest dirt in workshop conditions:
- Curved hook (Pick): Ideal for scraping, cleaning washers, and prying off jammed cleat components.
- Straight awl (Poker): Perfect tool for deep penetration and clearing screw holes, and removing compacted dirt composite from tight spaces.
- Durability and precision: Working parts made of high-quality hardened steel resistant to bending, allowing for stable application of optimal force.
- Ergonomic handle: Contoured handles provide a secure grip and full control over the tool, minimizing the risk of the awl slipping onto the hand or shoe surface.
