Specialised shoes, Shimano cleats. Only really started being a problem recently and have been good as gold for 6 months or so. Now I just can't keep the cleat on the right foot still. Makes getting off in a hurry a bit exciting at times. Has anyone got a fix for this or is it simply a case of wear and tear on the mounting area and new shoes are needed (they still look like new).
Youve tightened them up?
Should last years if properly fitted.
Afraid I will strip the threads or shear the bolt if I tighten them any more! They are still plenty tight after they move
Put some copperslip on the bolts and tighten to correct torque with a wrench. Shouldn't move.
Done that. Shouldn't move... but do. Only on the one side
You could try inserting a shim of some sport betwixt cleat and shoe. Crank Bros do one that would work. If you can't locate one near you, I'm sure I could find one to send you.
You've shagged the contact areas then? Pics?
Clean and roughen the contact area on the shoe?
Is the sole cracked & flexing where you can't see it!?
I will investigate further. @ Scotroutes, I will look into the shims option if that seems to be the only answer. Thank you for the offer. Will see how it pans out.
