Bont Cycling vented toe bumpers are glued to the front of the shoe, so you need to be extra careful when removing old bumpers and replacing new ones.
To install the heel pads and toe bumpers, follow these steps.
- Check that the size of the replacement bumpers matches the pair on your current shoes.
- Apply a small amount of acetone or nail polish remover or similar to a cotton swab to dissolve glue and help remove the used bumpers. PAY ATTENTION! The upper of the shoe can be damaged if acetone is applied directly to the material. Apply the acetone exactly where it is needed. If necessary, you can pry the toe caps off the sole a bit, and then apply the acetone to the bottom.
- When the acetone is completely dried, pay close attention to the position of the old bumpers for a perfect installation, place the front bumper on the shoe and determine the correct position needed. You should be able to note the exact position left by the area covered by the original bumper.
- Apply a small amount of LOCTITE 401 (not included) or equivalent to the inside of the new bumper.
- Careful placement of the bumper on the shoe is important for a great result.
- Place the bumper directly on the shoe as accurately as possible. LOCTITE 401 will harden quickly, so for a beautiful result it is essential to place the bumper carefully.
- When making minor adjustments to the bumper, hold the bumper firmly against the shoe for a few minutes.
- Repeat the above steps for matching shoe.
- Allow to dry for at least 12 hours before riding again
