FAQ

Are these compatible with my SPD cleats?

Yes. The ALT uses a stainless steel SPD-compatible binding that works with your existing SPD cleats, and it is optimized for the Wolf Tooth cleats included in the box.

What is the adjustable Q factor and why does it matter?

Q factor is your pedal stance width. The ALT lets you set 51, 55, or 59 mm by rearranging internal spacers and bearings, which you can do at home, so you can fine-tune fit and comfort. Pedals ship at 55 mm.

Why does the larger platform matter on an XC pedal?

More platform area means more shoe-to-pedal contact, which improves control and power transfer. Many XC pedals only contact the shoe at the cleat and cage; the ALT supports the shoe on the body for a more connected, road-like feel.

Can I service and repair these myself?

Yes. The ALT is fully user serviceable with home service guides, and individual replacement parts from the body to the bearings are available through Wolf Tooth Right to Repair.

Best For

Best for cross country racers and gravel riders who want a light, low-profile SPD pedal with a big supportive platform, adjustable fit, and made-in-USA durability that holds up in mud and grit.
