. How many different pedals does VP make?
 
Currently we manufacture pedals for almost every category of bicycle - more than 100 models in all.
 
. The cleats for my clipless pedals have worn out. Where can I buy spares?
 
VP supplies cleats with attachment hardware separately. If the retailer that sold you the bike or the pedals does not have cleats in stock, ask the shop to order some from their VP distributor. Cleats may also be available from online retailers in your area. To check exact pedal / cleat compatibility or find a cleat model number, go to Products > Pedals > Parts & Accessories > Cleats.

. Is the VP-C01 cleat compatible with other brands of clipless pedals?
 
Some cyclists do seem to find VP-C01 usable with certain pedals made by other companies. However VP-C01 is designed to be compatible only with VP pedals (see "Which cleats are compatible with my VP clipless pedals?" FAQ). VP cannot guarantee compatibility with any other pedals and is not responsible for any problems that might arise by using VP-C01 with pedals other than those recommended.
 
. What is Bio Cleat?
 
Bio cleat is clipless pedal / cleat interface; a joint design project by VP Components and Look Cycle International, now discontinued. Bio Cleat has been superseded by new pedals (VP-M11, VP-31, VP-R61) that utilise a new binding design but use the same cleats we have sold for many years, the VP-C01. Bio Cleats are only compatible with Bio Cleat pedals. VP-C01 cleats are incompatible with Bio Cleat pedals. We continue to supply replacement cleats (Model: VP-C07) for Bio Cleat pedals. See our Product pages for further compatibility info.
 
. What are LSL Bearings?
 
LSL bearings are custom designed oil impregnated bushing bearings. LSL (Lightweight Self Lubricating) bearings are a crucial component in many of VP's high-end pedals. Pioneered by VP for use in bicycle pedals, LSL bearings allow us to build a lighter pedal, with a lower profile, which results in a low stack height (distance from the shoe sole to the axle center). As they are constructed from a highly durable but extremely low friction advanced composite material, and are virtually maintenance free, LSL bearings are ideal for tough road or off-road riding.

LSL Bearing Features:

- Ultra-light
- Extremely low friction ratio
- Virtually unaffected by temperature
- High resistance to distortion (perform particularly well in off-road conditions with vibration, frequent starting/stopping, and constantly varying speed)
- Ideal for low velocity use under heavy loads such as cycling
- Virtually maintenance free
 
. Do VP clipless pedals come with cleats?
 
Yes, all of our clipless pedals are supplied with one pair of cleats and a set of hardware for attaching the cleats to the soles of cycling shoes.
 
. Is the weight of the pedal for a single pedal or a pair?
 
All pedal, cleat and toe clip weights are for pairs, in grams. e.g. 250 g/pr = 250 grams a pair.
 
. How do you measure your pedals?
 
On this website, the first figure given for each model refers to the width of the pedal (measured from crank arm to the outer most point of the pedal). The second figure is for the length; from front to back. Figures are in millimetres.
