Shimano SPD-SL Road Cleats Description:

Shimano SPD-SL Road Cycling Cleat Set. For use with Shimano SPD-SL compatible pedals and available in 3 versions. Red/SM-SH10 is zero float or "fixed", Yellow/SM-SH11 is 6° float, and Blue/SM-SH12 is 2° of float. No matter what your riding needs, the Shimano SPD-SL road cycling cleats have a version for you. The SPD-SL road cycling cleats are compatible with 3-bolt road cycling shoes and weigh 72g per pair.


Features:

  • Compatible with SPD-SL road pedals (nearly all Shimano road pedals)
  • Three-hole SPD-SL cleat mount
  • The front center pivoting, minimal float (+/- 1 degrees) cleat restricts toe movement and eliminates lateral play
  • Includes two cleats along with mounting hardware

How To Choose SPD-SL Cleats:

  • Yellow – 6° Float
    • If this is your first pair of cleats, we recommend the 6° float cleat
    • 6° float cleats are also great for athletes who experience knee pain or lack flexibility 
    • The 6° float cleat allows for more lateral movement which makes it easier to pedal in a natural manner
    • While this cleat is recommended as a starting point for new cyclists, many experienced cyclists still opt to use the yellow cleat
  • Red – 0° Float
    • Great for sprinters, professional cyclists, and anyone looking for the most efficient power transfer possible
    • Fully fixed position with no float
    • Requires precise cleat position and fitting. We recommend seeing a professional bike fitter to help dial-in your position with these cleats
    • Not a good choice for riders who are prone to knee pain
  • Blue – 2° Float
    • A compromise between yellow and red 
    • Provides a small range of movement while still delivering a high amount of pedaling efficiency
    • Still requires an optimal cleat position

Pro Tip: Apply a little bit of threadlocker to each of the bolts to prevent cleats from coming loose.

Shimano SPD-SL Road Cleats (6°) (SM-SH11) (Yellow)
So far so good. We will see how long they last. EZ in n out. Compatible Shimano Shoes are very comfortable. I have only done 10 miles in one ride thus far. See how they feel after 30 miles. If my 63 year old back and neck and elbows can stay in the saddle for 2 hours.
