These SM - SH51 SPD single direction release cleats are the perfect replacement for all Shimano SPD clipless pedals. They're great for both off - road adventures and smooth pavement rides. With a lateral twist, these cleats release easily, and they're less likely to come off during an upward stroke or pull. They offer 4 degrees of float, allowing your feet to move freely and reducing stress on your joints. If you're a casual rider, you might like the SM - SH56 multi - release cleats as they're easier to unclip. To keep your pedals working well and your feet stable, it's important to replace the cleats regularly. Frequent riders should replace them at least once a year. Features include being designed for SPD single - direction release, releasing by twisting your heels outward, no specific cleat nut requirements, being cold - forged and heat - treated for high durability even under tough conditions, and being engineered to match SHIMANO pedals perfectly to prevent damage, which is a big plus of having single - source parts.
How to use: To release the cleats from the pedals, simply twist your heels outward. These cleats are made for all Shimano SPD clipless pedals, so just attach them properly to your pedals and you're ready to go. Note: Casual riders may find it easier to use the SM - SH56 multi - release cleats. If you're a frequent rider, remember to replace your cleats at least once a year to keep your pedals functioning well and your feet stable. Maintenance: Since these cleats are cold - forged and specially heat - treated, they're quite durable. But still, try to keep them clean and avoid using them in extremely harsh conditions for long periods to ensure they last as long as possible.
