Installing TIME cleats on Lake MTB shoes

Just bought a pair of MX238 (wide) but the stickers and notes say I need a shim/spacer/shield to ensure the cleat-to-ground clearance is between 0.25mm and 1mm (or the warranty is void). Eyeballing it, the clearance looks it'll be in that range without adding anything.

Anyone else had/overcome/know about this issue. Can't find anything online and I'm anxious to get out in the uncharacteristically nice bank holiday weather before it turns.

I used a note book cover that was made of thin plastic. I might even still have some of you want.

Is that because your cleat-to-ground clearance wasn't in the 0.25mm-1mm range?

Yeah I seem to remember going through this and having similair concerns. Time atac cleats

I appreciate the kind offer, thank you. I screwed the cleats in and got the tape measure out and my eyeball was way off. Current clearance is more like 2mm

I've probably got something laying about that I can make I suitable shim from. I've still emailed SRAM to see whether there's an official product...just in case.

How long have you had the shoes, and how's the shim holding up?

Ages and it's been fine.

If anyone comes looking for the same information, SRAM replied and recommended crankbrothers shoe shields.

They're about a tenner plus delivery, but they're just thin metallic shims with holes for the screws. I reckon there are a couple of Guinness cans in the recycling that could be cut with scissors, folded over to the right thickness and drilled for the same effect.

I've got a pair of these I could post having switched to spds if the can approach fails

The shoe shields? How much would you want for them?

Forum donation would be fine.
