Exustar Look Keo Cleats – black button thing ?

these ones

just putting a set of these on for using at the velodrome. Am used to Time cleats, so not used these before – what does the black button bit do ?

Tiny bit of grip when walking.

IME fall out all the time just for sh*ts and giggles.

I may have this completely wrong but they are used when adjusting the cleat position, they sort of lock into place.

Correct. You can drill a hole in your shoe, and put a screw in – black bit attaches to screw head. Remove cleat, leaving black bit behind. Install new cleats (minus black bit) – perfectly aligned cleats.

I read a bit about them giving a ‘memory’ on the shoe when replacing the cleats, but that was for the original Look ones. I just whacked them onto the shoes (Spesh) using the guide lines anyway. Seems like the button makes some kind on imprint or similar, or stays there once cleat removed ?

njee – thanks for that. So I assume if not drilling holes I just attach the cleat, with button in it’s normal place attached to the cleat ?

I believe they are there to stop the hard plastic pedal rattling against the hard plastic cleat.

They are for saving your cleat position, genuine Look cleats have them too IIRC

Memory thing iirc.

Yep!

njee20 – many thanks

so if I take my cleats off how do I know what the position was?
