Remember to replace your cleats
Just a friendly reminder to check your cleats and replace them every year or so.
I did a bike fit today and the rider had very worn cleats resulting in more play on the pedal than there should have been.
It reminded me to check and replace my own cleats on my commuter/mtn shoes. These are SPD and they were so rusted in I couldn't get one screw out and had to take a hacksaw to it. The new cleats are working great and I should've replaced them about 8 months ago!
Cleats are cheap and work so much better when they are new. Most cleats have a wear marker on them that you can check. If you let your cleats go too long, it can damage your shoe. A damaged pair of shoes is a lot more expensive than a pair of cleats. This truly a case where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Happy riding.
