• Anti-Slip Walkable Pads:Features colored rubber contact points on the base to provide traction and stability when walking on smooth floors or pavement.
• Efficient Power Transfer:The wide-profile design ensures a large contact area between the shoe and pedal for maximum energy output and stability.

When to Replace

• Indicator Wear:The colored rubber pads are worn down to the black plastic base, signaling the engagement surface is nearing the end of its life.
• Loose Engagement:The shoe feels "floppy" or has vertical movement when clipped in, indicating the plastic has thinned.
• Engagement Failure:Difficulty clipping in or unintended release during heavy pedaling or climbing.
• Visible Cracking:Any hairline fractures or chips in the composite body of the cleat.

Installation Tips

• Position Mapping:Use a marker to trace the outline of your old cleats on the shoe sole to ensure your preferred cleat position is maintained.
• Bolt Tension:Use a 4mm hex wrench to tighten the three mounting bolts firmly; loose cleats can prevent you from unclipping safely.
• Grease the Bolts:Apply a small amount of bicycle grease to the threads of the mounting bolts to prevent them from seizing over time.
• Alignment:Ensure the cleat is centered under the ball of the foot. The 6-degree float will help compensate for minor natural foot rotation.
• Washers:Always use the included metal washers under the bolt heads to ensure the force is distributed evenly across the plastic cleat body.
