Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- Come in multiple versions, so every rider can choose their favourite amount of float.
- Clipping in and out of your pedal is easier and more comfortable with new cleats.
- Each colour has its own degree of float: Red: 0 degrees, Blue: 2 degrees, Yellow: 6 degrees.
- Yellow is for anyone starting out in cycling or not 100% sure of their cycling position.
- Blue and Red can be used by cyclists who have done a bikefit, and these cleats can be used competitively.
- As cleats are prone to wear, they'll need to be replaced every now and then.
- Please note: These cleats can't be used as a replacement for 2-bolt Shimano SPD mountain bike cleats.

Yellow Cleats
Yellow cleats have the highest degree of float. These are the standard cleats that come with most Shimano road bike pedals. These cleats have 6 degrees of float, which gives you a lot of freedom of movement when cycling. The advantage of these cleats is that you can ride in comfort, and the chance of discomfort in your knees or other body parts is lower. The disadvantage is that you lose pedalling energy because of the movement of your foot.
This cleat is used by many groups of road cyclists, ranging from recreational to professional. However, a lot of avid cyclists opt for a cleat with less float.
Blue Cleats
These blue cleats have 2 degrees of float, which is less than the yellow cleats. This means that the foot's freedom of movement is reduced when clipped into the pedal, resulting in less energy loss during cycling. The disadvantage of decreased float is that it's more difficult to find an ideal foot position while cycling, which increases the risk of knee problems. To avoid this, the cleat must be adjusted with greater precision.
Red Cleats
Shimano's red cleats have no float at all. This means that the foot has no freedom of movement while you're cycling, which means that almost all energy benefits the pedalling movement. This allows you to ride faster and have more control when using this pedal, which is why these cleats are often used by competitive cyclists. The disadvantage of these cleats is that they have to be finetuned very precisely. If the cleats are not properly adjusted, there's a greatly increased risk of knee complaints or problems with other body parts.
• Blue: 2 degrees of float
• Yellow: 6 degrees of float
• Bolt length: 8 mm
The cleats come as a pair. They come with mounting hardware, 6 screws and 6 rings. Remember to use assembly paste on the screws, so they can easily be removed again later.
- Racefietsschoenen met een 3-bouts (3-bolt) montagepatroon in de zool.
- Alle Shimano SPD-SL pedalen, zoals 105, Ultegra en Dura-Ace.
- Mountainbikeschoenen met een 2-bouts (SPD) montagepatroon: hiervoor heb je 2-bouts SPD schoenplaatjes nodig, geen SPD-SL.
- Look Keo-pedalen: die hebben een eigen plaatjesvorm en zijn niet uitwisselbaar met SPD-SL, ook al past de schoen op beide systemen.
Kijk op de zool van je fietsschoen: zie je 3 losse boutgaten in een driehoekvorm, dan heb je een 3-bouts systeem en passen deze SPD-SL schoenplaatjes. Zie je 2 boutgaten dicht bij elkaar, dan heb je een 2-bouts SPD-schoen en heb je andere plaatjes nodig. Twijfel je over je pedalen, check dan of er "SPD-SL" op staat.
• Mounting kit
Eerste montage: zet je het plaatje los vast, klik je schoen in het pedaal om te checken of de positie klopt, en draai dan pas de bouten definitief vast.
Vervanging: markeer de positie van het oude plaatje, zodat je het nieuwe plaatje in precies dezelfde positie kan monteren.
In beide gevallen na de eerste paar keer fietsen de boutje aandraaien, aangezien deze los kunnen trillen.
- Check regelmatig hoe versleten je plaatjes zijn: bij te veel slijtage klik je minder stevig vast of raak je moeilijker los.
- Noteer je positie (bijvoorbeeld met een stift of foto) voordat je een nieuw plaatje monteert, zodat je je bikefit niet kwijtraakt.
- Neem wat montagevet voor de bouten, zoals onze montagevetten, dat voorkomt vastroesten en piepende geluiden.

Good product
I bought these pads for my Shimano RC503. They do the job. Fast delivery, but the box was missing some tools.

Perfect
This SPD SL is the first to use clip-in plates. They work really well! It takes a bit of practice to clip in and out, but once you’ve got the hang of it, you can rack up the miles. It’s also nice that there’s a bit of play, so they’re not completely locked in.
