Speedplay Pedal Thread

Stick a screwdriver in and heat the screwdriver with your torch.

I’ll look for a sacrificial screwdriver and shout at it

Too soon man, too soon :(

Has anyone tried these or similar knock off cleats?

Anyone ridden Paves and Zeros? Is there any noticable difference in foot-feel?
Other than dirt clearing and clipping in issues

Yes, you need the 3 hole baseplates and also the original springs as the knock off ones are unsafe to use.
I wouldn't bother buying them again.

I'm looking at replacing a set of walkable cleats which Scherrit fitted for me. He used the extender plates to move the cleats backward from where they'd have mounted natively, and I was looking for a new pair of these to go with some new cleats, but they appear to be NLA - anyone seen a set for sale anywhere, or know of a replacement?

Can't you reuse the extenders?

Probably, but they're ~10 years old and look a little sorry for themselves.

If they're not mechanically unsound there's no reason not the use them. They're just a piece of alu with mounting holes.

There's some on international ebay. Have you asked @scherrit if he has stock?

Okay, so going to 'upgrade' to the walkable aero cleats or whatever the latest are called.

I currently have a shim under one shoe following a bike fit (and it seems to work for me). Speedplay insist I can't use the old screws with the V2 cleat. Is this true? If so where can I get longer V2 compatible screws to accommodate the shim. Can't seem to find anything online.

I just bought some new aero cleats, they come with 2 length of screws for the base plate.
I only needed the short ones for the normal base plate into the shoe so maybe the longer ones supplied will be enough

Interesting! Do you mean the three screws for the baseplate?

The shim is actually between the baseplate and the cleat, so it’s the four m4 screws that need to be longer.

Ah ok, yes I meant those 3 screws. All bets are off then.

Does anyone want a pair of speedplay stainless pedals and worn but useable cleats? Looking for £40. Still using speedplay, just have custom axle length ones.

Sold.

has anyone got any spare 73mm ti axles they'd be willing to sell?

I have the longest axle that speedplay do in stainless, official not knock off.

Edit: Just checked these are 65mm.

apologies, that should read

has anyone got any spare 53mm (or shorter) ti axles they'd be willing to sell?
