FAQs

How often should I replace my cleats?

Replace your cleats when the wear indicator shows wear or if you experience difficulty clipping in/out.

Are these cleats compatible with my mountain bike pedals?

No, these cleats are only compatible with Shimano SPD-SL road pedals.

Can I adjust the float of the cleats?

The SM-SH11 cleats offer 6 degrees of float (3 degrees in each direction) and are not adjustable beyond this range.

What tools do I need to install the cleats?

You will need a hex wrench to tighten the cleat bolts. The size of the hex wrench depends on the bolts provided with the cleats or your shoes.

How do I know if the cleats are positioned correctly?

The cleats should be positioned so that the ball of your foot is over the pedal axle. Experiment with the cleat position to find what feels most comfortable.

What is the benefit of the non-slip rubber base?

The non-slip rubber base provides better grip when walking.

How can I protect my cleats when walking?

Use cleat covers to protect the cleats when walking. These covers are typically made of rubber and snap onto the cleats.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty clipping into or out of the pedals.

Check cleat and pedal engagement mechanism for dirt or debris. Ensure the cleat bolts are correctly tightened. Adjust the cleat position.

Excessive play or movement in the pedal.

Tighten cleat bolts and ensure the cleats are securely attached to the shoes. Check the pedal mechanism for wear.

Premature wear of the cleats.

Ensure correct cleat alignment and consider using cleat covers when walking to protect the cleats.
