The SOFT INSTEP CLOSURE SYSTEM is a wide, anatomically curved strap combined with a soft, thermo-formed EVA pad that distributes pressure evenly over the instep area. The SOFT INSTEP CLOSURE SYSTEM is adjustable from both sides, to perfectly center the EVA pad over a high or low instep. The system eliminates the need for the High Instep Extender. The SOFT INSTEP CLOSURE SYSTEM is replaceable. TECNO-3 SYSTEM dials in fit along the entire length of the shoe, adapting the upper to the shape of the foot for a customized fit. SIDI’s famously reliable and replaceable closures are improved by an all new proprietary SIDI Wire material that is completely non-binding for intuitive and effortless on-thefly adjustments. Reinforced cup that stabilizes and supports the heel. Anatomically shaped plastic, reduces heel slip and provides increased power transfer. Provides additional foot protection in the event of a crash.For walkability, Sidi cycling shoes include a replaceable polyurethane heel pad. The MILLENNIUM 4 CARBON COMPOSITE SOLE features injected carbon fiber in a matrix of Nylon, providing more rigidity than a standard nylon sole. The MILLENNIUM 4 CARBON COMPOSITE Sole is also more durable, completely non water-absorbent and mechanically stable, meaning it’s less susceptible to changes in stiffness resulting from aging, prolonged usage, and changes in temperature or humidity. An anti-slip toe insert and replaceable polyurethane heel pad are incorporated into the MILLENNIUM 4 CARBON COMPOSITE Sole, for walkability. The MILLENNIUM 4 CARBON COMPOSITE Sole uses a standard 3-hole drilling pattern for compatibility with the best pedal systems available, and includes a printed 10 mm lateral and fore/aft cleat alignment scale on the sole for easy cleat alignment and replacement. ALBA 2 in the special woman version, perfectly fits the female foot in order to perform even better for the ladies. Tapered last mimics a women’s more tapered foot shape Narrower across the ball of the foot Less volume, on the instep area and a narrower heel cup
Praxis Works Alba 1x10-11 Speed Direct Mount ChainsetDeep in the hills of Santa Cruz, cyclists are met by a nasty, four-mile, 1800 ft. climb named Alba Road. This respected ascent was the inspiration for the Praxis Works Alba road chainset. With its shapely forged-alloy arms, M30 alloy spindle, LevaTime II X-Spider and chainring, the Alba is ready for anything.LevaTime X-Spider and ChainringThis 1x10/11 speed chainset features a LevaTime II (LT2) X-Spider and chainring that's the product of years of relentless testing and tweaking. This all new LT2 X-Spider is even stiffer than the original generation X-Spider. With a new forging design to support the new LT2 5mm plate big rings, this direct mount model keeps things flex-free when it's time to put the power down.One Shot ForgingAt Praxis Works, the primary reason it forges its chainring is that it allows them to create dramatically shaped teeth and ramping surfaces. The brand's “One Shot” forging process allows it to make these shapes, and at the same time, create a harder and tougher ring than the competition's machined rings. Imagine for a second, you have a big hammer and you are hitting a cold block of metal trying to shape it. Now, imagine the hammer is the size of a car and when you swing that hammer you've got hundreds to thousands of tons of pressure behind it. It's a very intense and difficult process that requires a great deal of tooling know-how. This manufacturing process happens to be the brand's specialty.M24 Bottom BracketThis chainset comes complete with a press fit M24/GxP bottom bracket for installing a M24/GxP spindle crank into a BB86 Road or BB90/BB92 MTN Frame. Praxis M24 bottom brackets have a 24mm Drive and a 22mm NonDrive Bearing. These are specifically made for use with Praxis M24 spindle cranks or SRAM GxP spindle cranks. A drive-side wave washer is used for preload of the bearings.
