ShimanoSM-SH56 SPD Replacement Cleats(Return to Product Page)

These cleats are used in place of the standard SPD cleats, and allow you to twist your foot out of the pedal in any direction, including a hard yank straight up. This means, when your bike is going down you can literally leap out of the pedals and land on your feet rather than being pulled over with the bike. For many mountain bikers it is a good compromise between clip-in pedals and flat pedals, and is also great for road or cyclocross. These have several times saved me from more serious injuries.

This is a very good product that worked well with my new clipon shoes. The produc was easily to install and worked properly immediately.

Works Great.

I needed to set up an old pair of bike shoes for use on a spin bike. These cleats are just what I needed.

I like to ride clipped in, but since the majority of my riding is commuting in a city with plenty of stoplights, I appreciate the ease of clipping in and out with the multiple release design. I typically clip out in a manner that would work with normal cleats, but the multiple release has saved me from taking a dive in a couple emergency stop situations.

Shimano SM-SH56 SPD Replacement Cleats are the best for beginners. You can adjust them to disengage at different tensions. Help in keeping a better cadence while riding. Easy to install replacement cleats. I would highly recommend.

Gravel and commuting

I must have gotten a defective one because my shoe came off the pedal 5 times (!!) in 30 miles, and if I hadn't been alert and quickly raised my foot, and let it fall and drag on the pavement, I could have broken my foot, my leg, or worse. It could have been a disaster.

Ive used these before and and really love the multiple release feature. Easy to attach.

I have SPD pedals on all of my bikes, including the road bikes. I only use mountain bike shoes because unlike road shoes you can walk in them. When I bought a new pair of shoes I needed new cleats. I saw these on sale and gave them a try. They are way easier to release than the standard SPD cleats while still secure when clipped in. So much so that I am now thinking about putting them on all my shoes.

These cleats release easier than the standard cleats. Funny that I didn't know there were 2 kinds. Anyway they are just great. I have had no problems with them coming out prematurely.

Perfect and extremely great price.

These are by far my favorite cleats for any bike that I have SPD pedals on. The multiple angle release makes them much easier to unclip from the pedals then the standard cleats. This makes these much safer to use that I highly recommend them for beginners that are converting to clipless pedals. I have never had a failure to release in any situation which required my to do it quickly. This includes mountain bike riding where getting out of the pedals in a hurry is really important.

Got these for my daughter, who is teaching a spin class at the fitness center. They work great.
