I went from yellow to blue a few years ago during a cycling holiday with lots of climbing. After three days one knee had taken damage which took months to recover from. After getting back on the bike with yellow cleats I never had these issues again.

To me the float was killing me, going for blue cleats solved the problem entirely. I needed my knee to stay in place.

@harrymaybourne8667 7 ай бұрын

I had a very similar experience except it was with reds. Going to yellow stopped the knee problems. I’m never going back.

Changing cleats attachment needs new pedal fitting.

Red cleats do not have lateral movement. That’s why they cause a lot of injuries and that’s why everybody use yellow cleats

No, the problem is angular float. No pedal system is supposed to have lateral float.

Yeah ,not a flaw , a design choice. One I actually appreciate.

That’s great the only thing I noticed is that I feel well with these cleats also with the red look cleats

@harveybirdman593 Ай бұрын

Do the blue cleats solve this issue without the risk of zero movement in the red Shimano cleats?

@phoenixinthetrees1446 2 ай бұрын

Then adjust your cleat to stop it. I get this, particularly on my SPD cleats on my mountain bike; I can feel my foot slide. Moving the cleat removes the problem.

@ERIK31351 Жыл бұрын

Didn't actually mention any flaws, you just displayed the float that is specifically desired when buying that cleat...

@veganpotterthevegan Жыл бұрын

The float is measured by the angle you can rotate your feet. Not how far right or left your shoe can move on the pedal. I always fit people off of where the tension of the pedal stops the foot if they're using a pedal that does this.

The flaw is that your q factor can change one pedal to the other

@danielashleybaker Жыл бұрын

angular float is the design. The lateral float is the flaw.

@adccars359 Жыл бұрын

That indeed is a major flaw. I think i may have been a victim to that issue. Switching to speedplays help alot. I do miss the feel of dura ace pedals under my feet.

@veganpotterthevegan Жыл бұрын

@adccars359 I'm a huge Speedplay fan, personally and as a fitter. But Looks may be an ideal pedal for you if you miss that platform. I consider the cleat the platform for Speedplay and it's a sizeable one. But if you don't prefer it, try something else. We spend too much time pedaling circles to not like how they feel

I have had 2 sets of Shimano Dura Ace Pedals. 1st set like these was there 1st ever set in approx 1988/90 & 6 yrs ago ultegra. But last April l went 2 Time Xpro 12 Pedals on my very very upgraded SL5 TARMAC EXPERT. Then in May last year Time Xpro 15 Pedals on my new SL7 S-WORKS TARMAC & end November last year Time Xpro 15 Pedals on my new SL8 S-WORKS TARMAC. Fantastic Pedals 84 grams each from memory. Neil Stainbury apparently has access 2 a Triathlon Pedal which also looks Gr8

@kevinthepark Жыл бұрын

I’ve never been a fan of pedal/cleat float on the road. Red Shimano cleats give the best feeling of being locked in and engaged with the pedals. I think the injury risk of zero float is highly over exaggerated by people who’ve never actually tried zero float and see how their body handles it.

I agree, I would hate movement and that's why I use red 👍

No two people are the same. I agree because my body behaves like that, but my brother needs float or his knees resent a lot

This is what is good about the yellow cleats? That movement , you want it. Especially if you're only riding a few times a week.

@skandhaprasath2767 7 ай бұрын

Lateral float + rotation freedom is soooooo irritating, if you try to pedal standing up. I just ordered blue cleats. Hoping it would fix my issues without injuries.

@Motorman1974 Жыл бұрын

New to clipless here, why is float desired or least desired? What are pros and cons for both float and no float?

@systemicchaos3921 Жыл бұрын

The thinking is that your foot cn naturally move through its best range of motion when there is float. For no float you get more lock down and morepower but you have to have your cleats setup perfectly for you to avoid injury. Some people need some float to avoid injury

@@colincanyon2519No! That's absurd advice.... one needs a bike fit to try out the varied floats... Next best thing is to start with the middle ground (with Shimano it's 2°, Look 4½°) then go up or down from there, depending on your bodies needs!

@@ev-ezaye3580 Of all customers I've served who started off clipless with SPD-SL, they use the yellow cleats that came with their pedals (except Dura-Ace). For me, I started with Look Keo, so I started off with grey cleats. Overtime, I felt 4.5° of float is a little too much for me, so when I switched to SPD-SL (this is what I wanted all this while), I'm now on blue cleats.

I like speedplay/wahoo pedals just because of all of the adjustment capabilities and no lateral movement, probably not a good pedal system for a novice. But I have the curse of the constant tinkerer.
