Appropriate angle for Shimano Ultegra SPD-SL?
Just bought a new pair of shoes and pedals. Specifically, I got the Shimano Ultegra PD-6610 SPD-SL pedals. I'm putting the cleats on the shoes and trying to get a reasonable angle so I don't spend all of tomorrow's ride adjusting. My feet toe-in naturally, but I got the cleats that float, so I'm not too worried about that. But I DID adjust the cleats so that the "non-float" position has my toes in about 3-4 degrees. Is this usual? Feels fine sitting on my bike in the kitchen, but it's too dark to take them for a ride right now. So, is there a generally-accepted toe angle when setting cleats up?
