3 bolt SPD cleat?
 
I'm entering the clipless world in the cheapest way possible. Looking at these shoes: http://www.rei.com/product/750801 , it says they take a 3 bolt cleat. Every SPD cleat I've seen online looks like they are 2 bolt.

Can somebody link me to the cleat I need? thanks

thoes shoes work with SPD-SL pedals and cleats. they will also work with look pedals as they share the same bolt pattern.

the 2 bolt type SPD shoes and cleats are typically used in mountain bike applications. they use a smaller cleat that typically is recessed in the sole of the shoe.

:p

I was thinking they were something else. Looks like I'll be picking these up, a Brooks B17, and some shorts, and I'll be golden!
