First cycling shoes
Hey i got my first pair of cycling shoes.Lake cx165
Im trying to put my spd cleats on(2 bolt design) and after i take the insole out theres a part covering the 2 holes on the outside of the shoe i cant pull out.Do i have to cut it out to put the plate in the inside of the shoe?I thought i should just be able to pull it out

Have you tried taking out the insole before trying to remove the mounting plate?

LET'S ROLL
if they're on the bike. If you have the most common SPD cleats, there are 3 ways to release
them from the pedals. Heel out, heel in and heel up. Try all three. If you're still having
problems with the mounting, try posting some photos so it will be easier for members to see
the exact problem(s).

Are the pedals attached to the bike? If they're not, I think it will be easier to remove them

My mounting plate got messed up in a way that it strips screws when you use them so i had to flip it over and pray the screws hold.
