Questions & Answers
The term "float" refers to the ability to rotate your foot on the pedal by a few degrees. The cleat type typically indicates the amount of float. Black indicates no float, gray indicates 4 degrees of float, and red indicates 6 to 8 degrees of float for Look products. Float allows you to adjust how far your toes point toward or away from the bike's direction of travel. The geometry of the cleat allows for float, i.e. The cutouts on the trailing edge of the cleat allow for some movement where they connect to the pedal.
There are three different float configurations available for these cleats: 0 degrees Celsius - The pedal does not move; 5 degrees Celsius; and 9. The temperature is 0 degrees. 5 and 9. Before stepping away from the pedal, rotate your foot slightly.
The average retail price of replacement cleats is $20-$30. A pair of these costs $25. There are three different colors to choose from. Types that are coded based on the amount of "float" - movement from left to right: Black: No float; Gray: float at 5 degrees; Red: Float at 9 degrees.
No, I don't believe that is true. The Tiem Slipstream shoe is equipped with SPD cleat mounts, which are common on most spin bikes. For road bikes, the LOOK Keo series of pedals is designed.
Selected User Reviews For LOOK Keo Grip Road Cleats
Coming from a pair of PowerTap P1 power meter pedal cleats, these Look cleats are a HUGE plus. The PowerTaps were merely adequate at first, but after a few weeks, clipping in and out became increasingly difficult; The outward journey was vexing and, on a couple of occasions, dangerous. I was concerned that these Look cleats would interfere with the performance of my PowerTap pedals. This is not true. They work just as well as the OEM cleats in terms of the data that is ultimately produced in terms of power output, and they're a lot easier to use (clip/unclip) than the OEM cleats that came with the pedals. So far, everything seems to be working out well. br>br>Creative+ paraphrase: 11/12/2018br>There were no grip pads on the cleats, and they were all plastic; Something I managed to overlook during installation, and I'm not sure if this is a manufacturing flaw or a case of the seller misrepresenting the product description. What I do know is that after a few nerve-wracking, slick, foot-shaking experiences, I'm ready to move on. When the sliding came to a halt, the reason became clear. My Look Keo Cleat experience was somewhat ruined as a result of this.
The new design appeals to me because it appears to provide more grip. I was considering purchasing aftermarket versions, but none of them have a good grip surface. The old cleats were quite worn, as you can see in the photo. I'm planning on using these for a year or two. They're a little on the pricey side, but I suppose you get what you pay for when it comes to quality and design.
After a few rides, the rubber will begin to wear away, and you'll be slipping around your house on your way out the door. The plastic is also very soft, and just using the pedal and putting your foot down at stops will quickly wear it out. They do what they're supposed to do, but the cheap plastic and rubber they're made of means they're not very long lasting.
The Good: With my PowerTap P1 pedals, I've been using the Keo Grip cleats. Surprisingly, the Keo Grip cleats are easier to clip in and out of than the cleats that came with the pedals (and are supposed to be made for them). The Grip pads' softer plastic also made starting at intersections or simply walking safer. The Drawbacks: br>br> After a few months and perhaps 1000 miles of riding, I noticed that clipping in felt strange and discovered that the front pad on the right cleat had simply vanished, while the pad on the left cleat was peeling off. The pads had not even been worn halfway, so they should have lasted a lot longer.
With regular use, they will wear out in about 3 months. The zero float or the gray set (approximately 4) are my preferred options. Float at 5 degrees. Even on casual rides, the red 9 degrees of float is way too much for me, and I feel like I'm wasting too much energy. I don't race, but I enjoy riding with a goal in mind. When I was commuting to and from work on a daily basis, I used to have to buy a new pair of these every quarter, even when I wore covers and walked a few yards to and from bus/train depots. They lose a star because, in my opinion, the plastic could be stronger. I've found that I only need to change them once a year when riding recreationally because I don't need to walk in my shoes very much during a ride.
I ordered the red cleats, which have 9 degrees of lateral movement vs. the blue cleats, because I had no idea what the different colors meant. I've been using grey cleats for a long time. They're about 4 degrees and, in my opinion, are easier to unclip than red cleats with more side-to-side movement. The Look Cleats, on the other hand, are excellent, and the vendor expedited delivery.
I've tipped over a few times when I forget to unclip the first time, but they stay on the pedals even when pedaling hard. They're friendly and helpful, and they make biking and climbing hills a lot easier. Next time, I'm thinking about going SPD so I can keep up with my friends and also use my mountain bike. Despite the fact that I went to these because my SPDs would pop out under pressure, it's possible that it was due to wear and tear. One cool feature of the LOOK is that when you snap it in, it makes a nice loud click, letting people know you're serious about your work.
Make certain you obtain the appropriate degree. My current favorites among the cycling cleats.
