I try to be smarter about my bike and equipment but as soon as I try to communicate on things I end feeling like an idiot. I called the LBS that I like to deal with and I tell him that the cleat that hooks to my shoe and goes into my pedal is getting a bit rough and I'd like to pick some up to have (and replace soon). "What kind are they?" "The triangle looking ones but hold on, I'll email you a photo of them". So I do and he says he needs to know more. OK. So I come home and look at my pedal and there are some markings but I'm not sure what is what. All this is probably blindingly obvious to ya'll but this is the first time I'll have to replace this item.

Here is the cleat. They look like basic road pedals, are they SPD? Is that true?


Here is the pedal. It is Forte brand and I'm not sure what that is exactly in the middle. Is that SPD?
