Replaced a buckle that was damaged in a crash.
No problems installing or with quality.
Used Sidi products for years however decided to go with a different shoe (Shimano, Giro) in white. Well this particular caliper buckle was the perfect cosmetic replacement for the stock buckle. Besides adding a nice visual touch to my new shoes the buckle performs as designed.
I bought the Sidi Caliper Buckles to replace the broken ones on my shoes. They fit just right and they work great. I would recommend to anybody with old broken buckles. The price of buckles was also great, Bike Tire Direct had the best and cheapest price for the buckles.
I love these shoes, but both buckles were broken and I wasn't excited about paying $239 for a new pair. Replacing the buckles is a much more cost-effective way to get back in business. I originally purchased the shoes used so I'm not sure how old the shoes are, but they're at least 6 years old - so I was concerned these new buckles might not fit. I was pleased to find that they fit my old shoes perfectly. Installation was as easy as can be, just one phillips head screw to tighten per buckle. I purchased matching replacement straps just to be sure they would be compatible with the new buckles, but the old ones would have worked fine.
The spring in my old buckles was shot, so they would bounce around and click annoyingly when I pedaled. These work perfectly as a replacement. The only caveat is that it can take some fiddling to get the strap into the buckle, so not ideal if you are a triathlete.
I ride on the dirt and the road. I have several pairs of SIDI shoes which are by far, in my opinion, the best available. They are initially expensive, but, well worth it in the long run. They seam to last forever.
have a pair of sidi genius 5s I've been riding in for the last 6+ years that fit like a pair of well worn jeans. When the spring on the buckle snapped, these new ones fit easily and do the job well. No hassles with the replacement.
Easy replacement. Remove one screw and install new buckles. Same as the originals. The springs in the buckle could be a little more durable as they are usually what breaks first but at least with SIDI most parts are replaceable and not crazy expensive.
Old buckle had a spring that broke, and replaced one. One screw and like new. A month or two the other buckle had the same issue. Guess that is why they sell them in pairs. Should have changed both at the same time
how the old style caliper where you pushed down on the red buttons. since gotten the new caliper where you get to lift on the red button, makes it so much easier to use. keeps your shoes on your feet and is easy to adjust how loosetight your shoes are.
Love my Sidi Genius II shoes but a plastic piece of the buckle broke and wouldn't tighten. These replacement buckles fit exactly like originals and my shoes are functional again!
Great product
No problem to install. Works like the original to extend the life of my Sidi's.
Great working replacement buckles. Definitely beats having to buy new shoes for a busted buckle.
Have to buy the new strap to match the new buckle, it is worth it.
Good replacement buckles.
Great replacement buckles for my old Sidi shoes. Super easy to replace, work great on those well broken shoes.
I bought my sidi shoes around fifteen years ago and they are the best and most durable bike item Ive ever purchased. I wasnt upset when the springs in both buckled broke, they still worked, the lever just flopped around when I rode. I finally broke down and got the new buckles and the compatible straps. They work a little differently from the old ones but they work great and have given my shoes many more years of life.
Replaced broken oem buckle with this, as it's a Sidi buckle it works fine no issues
easy to install replace but did need the new strap for my shoe, the customer service advised I should order the strap, which I did but the product description said I didn't need to, so I saved on shipping with the advise of customer service. Also arrive quickly with the cheapest shipping option, so didn't lose any time on my bike
