Shimano makes the best Cleats on the Market.

Shimano makes the best cleats and it's great to get them on sale

from biketiresdirect.com

I've had the cheaper brands before, but they wear out quickly and

do not perform like Shimano's.

Thank you for your feedback.

Protect your cleats

Not much to say about the cleats. If you have Shimano pedals, you'll use these. I use yellow because the blue, with less lateral movement, hurt my knees. Some folks says these cleats wear too fast. No so, if you use Kool Kover Cleat Covers, which Bike Tires Direct carry. In short, avoid walking on these cleats without covers. With covers, they last a long time.

Thank you for your feedback.

No complaints, well one.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Consistently excellent consumer experience

I could have purchased the cleats anywhere but always use the price match feature with Biketiresdirect.com!

Customer service is excellent and the whole consumer process is efficient and easy from website to shipping.

Thank you for your feedback.

My favorite cleat

I like the Shimano SPD-SL cleat & pedal because they give me a large platform reducing hotspots, are easy and reliable to clip in to and out of, and look good to boot. The yellow cleat is my preference, as I like to have some float for comfort. They last a pretty long time, especially if you are conscientious and don't go traipsing around on pavement and gravel. If you do these latter, the yellow base will wear off rather quickly, and then the cleats have too much vertical play for my liking, but remain usable.

If you are using Sidi shoes, make sure to also get the 10mm bolts as the stock bolts are too short.

Thank you for your feedback.

Cleats gotta have them....

Not much to say but who doesn't like new cleats ? New cleats feel solid and look great the end.

Happy with Cleats and Happy with Service

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.

Excellent for Shimano road pedals

If you have Shimano road pedals then these are the cleats to use. Easy to install. Quick engagement. Only downside is that they're not durable for walking, like at rest stops during rides.

Great price on brand and type of cleats I have been using for years.

Easy to secure to the sole of the cycling shoe. I have never had issues with these breaking, just normal wear and tear.

They are replacement cleats.

Picked up two sets on a great sale. They are really nice when new, but do degrade in time. Depends on how much you walk around in them will determine their live expectancy. I go through a couple a year or when the rubber is worn out.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great System

As far as I am concerned these are the gold standard pedal system. Easy inout and very reliable. When replacing them make sure to torque them down properly or they can squeak.

The cleatiest!

They are cleats. They are Shimano SPD SL replacement cleats. They work. They last a summer season unless you walk around a lot on them. Nuff said.
