Slightly random cleat compatibility question - I had a broken cleat spring at the weekend and had to source a replacement. Luckily I found a local bike shop (many thanks to Bridport cycles - great shop, would highly recommend if you're in Dorset) who (although not a Speedplay stockist) sold me the cleats of the shop owner's wife's shoes so I could be on my way!
The cleats were the grey model which I think is light action (and they feel much lighter). All I've done is swap the spring in and replace the whole cleat and seems fine so far (I was able to ride another 100m since), but does anyone know if they are supposed to be cross compatible in this way or will my shoes explode?
Speedplay say you're not meant to mix and match bits from old/new cleats, etc. but I've done it quite a few times because their C-springs always break. You should be ok, so long as you've followed the normal requirements for screw torque, etc.
