Our
cleat may look similar to those of other pedals that are thrust in the face of
you, the consumer, and there is a good reason for that. It IS similar to other
cleats. It fits in any standard SPD compatible shoe's cleat pocket. It uses the
standard SPD mounting screw spacing. However, that does not mean that our
cleat is not special - It just means that you need to understand a little bit
more about the cleat to appreciate it's uniqueness. Our cleat is made from
stainless steel: No rust, high strength. It simply can't be beat. It is also
parametrically driven by our model. What this confusing terminology means to you
is that it is easy for us to come up with new cleat designs, giving us the
ability to offer various release angles and various amounts of float tension
simply by changing a few numbers. More options means a more versatile and
user-friendly pedal.
