Shimano cleats SM-SH12 SPD-SL 2°

Shimano cleats SPD-SL SM-SH12 2°

The blue SPD-SL cleats from Shimano represent a middle value in the degree range of the SPD-SL series and are preferred by ambitious athletes and sportsmen who have higher demands than recreational riders. In contrast to the yellow cleats, they offer a narrower pivot range of 2° (1° in each direction), which enables a stable connection to the pedal and increased pedalling efficiency.

The pivot point of these blue cleats is at the front, which means that the heel turns instead of the toe when riding. This prevents lateral sliding movement. These features make the blue cleats ideal for experienced riders who find it easy to adjust the cleats, have good leg mobility or are already experienced in using click shoes.

They are mounted with 3 screws and washers on shoes of the 3-hole system. An indicator under the shoe usually makes initial adjustment easier.
