Shimano® Road Pedal & Cleat Installation


Shimano® SPD-SL and LOOK® Road Pedal
Cleat Installation and Alignment

by - James Robert Steel


A comprehensive do-it-yourself pedal installation article.

Oh boy, new pedal time! My LOOK pedals had 10k miles
on them and were squeaking and the cleats were
popping out of the pedals at inopportune times.

So many pedals and cleats

One would probably need to write several articles to cover the many brands and styles of pedals.

I haven't used SpeedPlay. What are they like? They seem to get good ratings.

As you noted the trick for virtually all pedal systems is comfort and alignment such that the knees and feet don't ache.
