How to adjust the angle of speedplay cleats?
 

Hi
I'm new to speedplay pedals. I need to adjust the angle of the cleat to have my toes point slightly in.
How do I adjust the angle of the cleat?
Thanks in advance

Can you adjust them using the float screws? Since the cleat is round I don't know that you would need to necessarily adjust the angle.

Good question! Not sure as I'm used to SPD and Time.
Here's what I'm trying to achieve:
When I ride, I need to point my toes in slightly more (about 2-3mm) than the standard angle when I clip in. As we speak, I need to physically "hold" my toes in a tad more the entire ride.
I know how to do this with SPD and Time, but not Speedplay. :-(

If you have the Speedplay Zero or Lightaction pedal/cleats, you can adjust the rotational degree of freedom from 0 to 15 degrees.

This means that you can adjust your feet's rotational freedom about the cleat verticle axis by either screwing in or out the cleat adjustment screws to decrease or increase, respectively, the rotational degrees which you can pivot your feet (a complete rotation is 360 degrees).

Thus, with both cleat adjust screws unscrewed half-way, you should be able to move your toes in or out by about 7.5 degree in and 7.5 degrees out.

If you want to only be able to have your toes point inward, all you need to do is screw in the front screw all the way in and screw out then back screw up until the center point - then I think that you should have feet point ability from parallel with the bike and up to 15 degrees in.

Or, if my geometry is wrong, then please divide degree values by 2.

I have the X0 model, should have mentionned.
Your instructions still apply?

You can not adjust the rotation of the cleat...

The 'X' series pedals and cleats have no float adjustment...They are free floating...Just ride and your feet will end up where they need to be, that's the beauty of Speedplay pedals...That and the two sided engagement...

It may take a bit of time to get used to the free float sensation, but once you do you will not even notice it.

I came from Time pedals and my first few rides on Speedplays were hilarious...My feet were swinging all over on the pedal stroke because with the Time the self-centering float was always keeping me feet where I thought they wanted to be. With the free float I had to do it and eventually everything smoothed out. Now I pedal fine and the feet are turned where they need to be..

Beauty of the speedplay is the absence of being held in position, you can adjust the amount of float but to turn your feet in you do it yourself, just point 'em where you want 'em and say stay, then adjust as necessary

Very clear explanation, thanks Dundas!

I have Speedplay Zeros. You can adjust the click in/click out angle. I cycle a bit toe in, with my right a bit more than my left.

I've had Speedplays since the early '90s. When I first got them the sensation was one of walking on ice. Now I don't even notice it....but I feel as if my feet are in straight jackets if I try to ride Look/Time/Shimano.
Just gut it out until your feet assume the position that is most natural, rather than the position you assume is best.

Thanks Guys
