Product Information
Full details
The HT Components X2 Cleats are designed for serious BMX riders and cyclists who demand a highly secure connection to their pedals. Offering 4 degrees of float and a specific 13-15 degree release angle, these cleats provide excellent power transfer; however, they require more effort to engage and disengage than the X1 series, which may take some adjustment for riders transitioning from other systems.

FAQs
Are these cleats compatible with Shimano SPD pedals?
No, these cleats are designed specifically for HT Components clip-in pedal systems.
Can I use these with road bike pedals?
No, these cleats are not compatible with HT road-specific models.
What is the purpose of the plastic spacing shims?
The shims help adjust the clearance between your shoe sole and the pedal body to ensure a secure fit.
How do these differ from the HT X1 cleats?
The X2 cleats have a different release angle (13-15 degrees) and require more physical effort to clip in and out compared to the X1 series.
How long should these cleats last?
Longevity depends on riding frequency and walking on hard surfaces. Inspect them regularly for thinning or damage to the engagement surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty engaging the pedal
Check for debris in the pedal mechanism or on the cleat surface. Ensure the cleat is not obstructed by the shoe tread.
Cleat feels loose after installation
Ensure the mounting screws are properly tightened and consider using the provided spacing shims to improve the interface with the shoe sole.
Stiff release from the pedal
Verify that the pedal spring tension is adjusted correctly to your preference and ensure there is no buildup of mud or sand in the cleat channel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward using standard tools. Begin by aligning the cleats with the holes on your cycling shoes. Use the included plastic spacing shims if there is clearance interference between your shoe sole and the pedal body. Ensure all four mounting screws are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications to prevent movement during use.
Compatibility: These cleats work with all HT mountain and BMX clip-in pedal systems. They are NOT compatible with HT road pedals.
Care: Periodically inspect the cleat surfaces for excessive wear or debris buildup. If clipping in becomes difficult, clean the pedal mechanism and the cleat surfaces with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or grit.
