Finally pulled the trigger on winter cycling boots as shoe covers just weren't keeping feet cool and dry. On the first ride I realized I'd forgotten the cleats. Since I live in PDX I was able to place an order and pick these babies up in under an hour. Not much to say - they're rock-solid, durable, work perfectly with my SPDs. Never need to worry about them.
Previously I had used the SH-56 multi-release cleats, but had encountered instances of coming unclipped when I didn't intend to. Was buying new shoes and decided to try the SH-51 cleats this time. The connection feels much more secure than the multi-release version, but still easy enough to clip in/out.
If you're new to clipless or commuting with a lot of stop-and-go then SH-56 might be better, but otherwise I would recommend the SH-51.
The subject line really says it all. Cleats do wear out over time and need to be replaced. Shimano makes a quality product and I've never had a complaint about them.
Exactly as described. Work great!
These cleats were the final component needed for my new shoes. Needless to say, these cleats clip in and release when needed. I would recommend these anyone looking to upgrade their current cleats.
My preferred cleat for the SPD pedals. Work good. No issues
these cleats have never failed over the years....Just wear out occasionally
As usual, Shimano produces dependably precise replacement parts. No worries about compatibility, lives up to the promise.
No complaints. I don't know how long they will last but they seem to be holding up better than the cleats I used when I had Crankbrothers eggbeaters. I put them on my Lake Boots and on my Sidi Mtn Bike shoes in about 10 minutes.
Shimano is Shimano. Great replacement cleats.
Replacement cleats, you get exactly what you pay for. No surprises or fancy thrills, just what you order. There's nothing to dislike in my opnion.
Each time I get a new pair of cycling shoes, new cleats get installed. They are cheap, and get the job done. I am tired of messing with my old used cleats- usually the bolts are all janky and gunked, thus the reason it's nice to install new ones.
This is my first choice for a SPD cleat.
Universal, basic, and great performance.
I have these cleats attached to my Shimano winter biking boots. Very effectively, no unexpectedly sliding around with the pedals & no problems having them get stuck in place when I stop at lights. So no fear of falling over (because of cleats & bike shoes in any case.
These work well and last a long time. Shimano makes good stuff.
They work exactly like they were designed to work.
The cleats are doing there job.
IN THE WORLD OF CYCLING THE SKY'S THE LIMIT IN ALL CATAGORIES OF COMPONENTRY BUT THESE LITTLE BEAUTIES ARE IN MY OPINION THE BEST A CYCLIST CAN GET. I DO A LOT OF COMMUTING, TOURING AND EVERYTHING UNGER THE SUN ON MY BIKES AND I NEED TO BE ABLE TO WALK AROUND WHEN I'M OUT AND ABOUT. MTB SHOES GIVE ME 95% OF THE PERFORMANCE THAT ROAD SHOES OFFER AND A GOOD 500% MORE COMFORT OVER ROAD SHOES. I HAVE A FEW BIKES ALL OF WHICH COST OVER FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS BUT I ALWAYS USE MTB SHES FOR COMFORT. I LIKE SHIMANO XTR TRAIL PEDALS AND HAVE THEM ON ALL MY BIKES. UNLESS YOUR A PRO RIDER ROAD SHOES AREN'T NECCESSARY IN MY HUMBLE OPINION. THESE ARE CHEAP CLEATS AND WORK EVERY TIME, BIG FAN OF THEM!!!
Easy to install and they work. I expect they will work 20 years like the last ones.
They're Shimano cleats and they work perfectly with my old road SPD pedals. The price was right and the delivery was quick. What more needs to be said?
