They work like they are supposed to work
You do not slip when walking! The cleats are easy in and out. But the best, when you stop and put your foot on the ground you do not slip. The yellow contact points, keep your foot from slipping.
Decided not to take away a star because one set of the cleats had a bad screw. That screw did cause me to have to get a threading tool and chase the threads in one of my shoes, very scary. Don't buy these till they go on sale, the price has doubled on them in the last couple of years. I also tried the cheap chinese knockoffs, they worked ok but they only last a few weeks and the colored knobs on the cleats fall off after a few days...
Used on a Giant TCR road bike. Provides easy in and easy out of the clips. Allows for good power deployment to the pedals.
Surprisingly long life-span ridingcommuting in an urban environment. (2,000 miles)
I love these cleats. They come with new screws for attachment. The install easily and work perfectly the first time.
They last a long time and I don't use cleat covers ! rubber makes it easy for walking , these cleats preform well with the shimano pedals that are rock solid!
Looking for replacement cleats for my 15 year old cycling shoes. These were a perfect replacement at a reasonable price.
The cleat always works perfectly. It's no wonder it's used by so many cyclists and racers. It tends to wear out sooner than I'd like, but all do.
The Shimano cleats wear as well as any brand I have ever had.
They have a large platform and I especially like the rubber walking tips on the cleat edges. It does wear off in time , but makes it easier to negotiate the cafe floor.
These have treated me with some mercy! I'm a newbie on clipless pedals and I have to say it's been a very comfortable experience clipping in and out with these given the amount of float they have.
Will use on my bike shoes. They clip in very nicely. They are made of plastic so they wear out very quickly.
Ordered the yellow cleats but the bolts were too short for Sidi shoes. Needed 13.5 mm so I had to order replacement bolts as 10 mm were provided. This added to the cost and delayed the use of the replacment cleats. At the price point, one would think Shimano would provide both sizes of bolts.
It's hard reviewing the cleat without reviewing the pedal since one is integral to the other. I've tried Look and Speedplay and like Shimano SPD-SL the best. I needed a cleat with minimal float and predictable clipping in. Speedplay, even the Zero, had too much float for me although they were a breeze to clip into. Look was okay for float, but the bearing quality andor tension was not good and they would not consistently hang for easy clipping in. The Shimano SPD-SL Dura Ace pedal has great bearings (which are replaceable) and a metal wear plate over the axle (also replaceable). The color of the cleat corresponds to the float- I use blue. Clipping in is not a problem. The only trouble I've had is knocking off the little contact points at the rear of the cleat. They stick out and can easily get caught on an edge although I've not had this happen since using cleat covers and even if it does happen, the cleat is still useable, only less protected from wear with walking.
There is nothing I don't like about this pedal.
Cleats work perfect with little float. Great power transfer for smooth pedaling
Not much to say but who doesn't like new cleats ? New cleats feel solid and look great the end.
Used to replace cleats on my shoes. Easy to replace!
I ordered these to replace my worn cleats and one of my cycling friends after seeing them asked for a pair also. Nice to know you can maintain a product without having to buy a new system each time an item needs replacing.
I always watch for the sales on items needed to continue riding. You guys carry the items I feel are high quality and priced right.
I feel the pedals and these cleats that I ordered are of this high quality and I feel safe and attached when clipped in.
