Chances of my pedals being delivered tomorrow? Place your bets please! #unlikely #cycling
Amazingly, they just arrived! Time to work out how everything goes together! #cycling #shimano #spd #clipless
Cleats on the shoes, hopefully in the right place back/forth - I attempted the masking tape and feeling for your metatarsals approach but it could be wrong. Need to work out any twist now. πŸ€”
I think there’s enough β€œfloat” in these not to worry too much about the angle/twist. They come out of the cleat fairly easily too (I started off loose, and have tightened a little)
Hot melt glue applied for @kim πŸ˜‰
Just noticed how scratched up the soles are after a few minutes practicing. I hope they don’t turn out to be made of cheese!
@jmb If they do turn out to be cheese, you could fit some of these: https://www.crankbrothers.com/products/shoe-shields

(It's just a thin sheet of stainless steel that fits behind the cleat.)

I'm using them to prevent ATAC pedals (which have a smaller area in contact with the sole) digging a hole in my shoes in a way that SPD pedals never did.
