Shimano Schuhplatten SM-SH56, Y41S98100

Always found Shimano to be good quality

Starting out on a road bike, like many other first time cyclists, I was hesitant and reluctant to immediately move over to the clipless side. When I first got a road bike back in June, going clipless was not even a consideration. I had read about the benefits of better peddling efficiency, feeling more connected with your bike, etc.I initially used my trainers with flat pedals in the early days of my cycling journey. The soft base of the trainers felt a little uncomfortable due to the flexibility of the sole, so I was initially looking for some shoes with a more solid platform/sole. I stayed put with trainers for a few months, but my feet were getting pretty chilly during some colder rides, and wearing shoe covers with trainers/flat pedals is a definite no-go area, as the flats would grind the pulp put of any shoe covers (which are mostly made from material). I briefly took some time to research the benefits of clipless systems and debated between MTB SPD and road pedals, but remained indecisive.As I had been viewing clipless pedals in the past, I immediately knew where to look. I went online and checked out some MTB pedals on some cycling websites (which were compatible with my new shoes). I came across some double sided pedals, Shimano PDM-530 SPD pedals, which looked to be the best bet. These are double-sided pedals, meaning I won’t have to be overly concerned about orientation, and can easily clip-in/out. And these pedals are fully compatible with the SH56 MTB SPD cleats.As I cycle-commute through heavy traffic, I also wanted the flexibility of being able to not be clipped in during slow/narrow passes, especially when I may need to stop suddenly. These cleats are ideal for that, as they are recessed. As I decided to opt for the multi-release cleats, I could have the freedom to unclip in a bilateral direction, as well as by forcing my foot in an upward direction away from the pedal. My feet were also staying in place, which was reassuring. Clipping in and out on the lowest setting was an easy affair, and I’ll leave it at a low setting for the time being. However, I am confident that I will be increasing the stiffness in due time once I gain further confidence. The learning curve was a lot quicker, and I am now looking forward to testing the new pedals out on a longer ride.It actually was nice to finally be clipped in, and I felt pretty confident in the few short minutes I was outside. I will of course be practicing a little more before taking them out for a proper bike ride. Being new to the clipless system, I have been told that having a ‘clipless’ moment’ or fall is somewhat of an inevitability. However, my motivation to NOT succumb to such an incident is absolute!Conclusively, I am very happy that I went for these cleats over the 3-bolt road system, at least for now. I like the flexibility of walking in my biking shoes, and having a recessed cleat is a huge advantage for me. I should add that having tried both the multi-release AND single release systems, have not really noticed a difference, particularly if you swing your foot out on either side to release. I believe that the multi-release is beneficial for also releasing your foot by jerking it up (emergency situation). And I am quite happy with both multi or single release now.

It may have been the type of cleat designed to be easy to get out of the clips but I did not like them

Look in images provided. How long to live just time will tell.

Bought these to replace the sh51 cleats which came with my pedals.They would only release in one direction, and I had a few scary tumbled because I couldn't unclip and was very wary on the bike and considered putting the old pedals back on.Then I saw these on YouTube and decided to try them, they came within 3 days and apart from being bright silver I couldn't tell the difference from the sh51.I fitted them to my shoes and tried them on the bike and they do unclip easily in a number of directions.I firmly believe these will be s log safer and boost my confidence, so much do I've bought a second pair for my other shoes.Reccomend to all, fair price too I've seen these for sale for £18 in some outlets

I can't imagine getting on my bike without sped pedals. But there are issue with the simple engineering to them. In most shoes they sit in long slots and then only thing stopping them twisting is the teeth tightened down onto the plastic on either side of these. So you have to have them *really* tight. Be careful - if they twist as you try to release then you will not unclip - likely causing a fall.But this leads to two problems - firstly the plastic will be crimped and weakened by the teeth - eventually it can crack - the plate inside the shoe is crucial to spread the load to help stop this.Second problem is when you come to remove them - the allen bolts will be tight - corroded and scarred by contact with the ground - and often will round off. It might be worth using a non-permanent thread sealer to stop the bolts seizing in the shoe plate.Check them frequently - get and fit replacement bolts if you are worried or they look dodgy. If they seize then your only hope is to cut a slot in the head of the bolt with an angle grinder or similar - so you can get purchase. with a big screwdriver.

Often copied, the Shimano Pedaling Dynamics pedal system has been on the go since 1990, and is still the best for quality and ease of use. Wellgo make a decent attempt, but as the Shimano cleats are the same price why compromise. The SH56 set are multi release, making them ideal for beginners new to clipless pedals. Also great for commuters that need to unclip at a moment's notice when traffic lights change or cars ahead stop suddenly. A huge step up from toe straps which can drag along the ground if not used. A drop of threadlock is recommended to prevent the fixing bolts working loose during use.

Cleats work perfectly with mu Shimano peddles and Shimano shoes. Good quality and easy to fit.

Shimano es sinónimo de calidad. Si quieres unos cleats duraderos son la mejor opción.Fáciles de instalar (no incluyen la llave, pero se consigue), excelente presentación y servicio por parte del vendedor.
