Highlights

The cleat most riders want

Enough float for the knee to follow its own path.

The default, and rightly so

Six degrees of float suits most riders, most knees and most bike fits.

Forgiving to learn on

That float margin is what makes unclipping predictable while you are still getting used to it.

What your pedals came with

SM-SH11 is Shimano's standard supplied cleat - the direct replacement for worn yellows.

Walks reasonably

Shaped for a stable platform and to resist clogging on unsealed ground.

Product description

About this product

The yellow cleat, and the one most riders should be on. SM-SH11 gives 6 degrees of float – 3 degrees either side of centre, pivoting around a centred point – which is enough for the knee to follow its own path through the pedal stroke rather than being held to the pedal’s idea of straight.

Shimano position it for riders new to clipless pedals, riders with knee pain, and riders with limited flexibility. That covers most people, and it is why SM-SH11 is the cleat supplied as standard with most Shimano SPD-SL pedals – if your pedals came with cleats in the box, these are almost certainly what they were.

The generous float also makes learning to unclip far more forgiving. With 6 degrees of movement before the release begins, there is a margin for a slightly wrong heel angle that a fixed cleat does not give you.

Release angle is 13 degrees. The cleat body is shaped to give a stable walking platform and to resist clogging – useful on the unsealed ground you end up standing on around Dar.

Questions

Good to know

Is this the right cleat for me?

For most riders, yes. Shimano recommend it for anyone new to clipless pedals, anyone with knee pain, and anyone with limited flexibility. Six degrees of float lets the knee track naturally, which is what prevents most cleat-related knee trouble.

What is float and why does it matter?

Float is how far your heel can swing sideways while the shoe stays clipped in. Your knee does not track in a perfectly straight line as you pedal, and float lets it follow its natural path. Too little float for your body forces the knee to fight the pedal, which is how cleat choice becomes a knee injury.

Will these fit my shoes and pedals?

These are SPD-SL road cleats. They bolt to a three-bolt road shoe and clip into SPD-SL road pedals only. They will not fit two-bolt SPD mountain bike shoes or SPD pedals, which is the commonest mistake people make ordering cleats. Check your shoe sole - three holes in a triangle means SPD-SL, two holes in a line means SPD.

Are these the cleats that came with my pedals?

Very likely. SM-SH11 is the cleat Shimano supply as standard with most SPD-SL pedals. If yours are worn yellow cleats, this is the direct replacement.

Can I make clipping out easier?

Yes - on the pedal, not the cleat. Shimano SPD-SL pedals have an adjustable spring tension screw. Wind it to the softest setting while you are learning, then tighten it once clipping out is second nature.

How should I set them up?

Start with the cleat centred under the ball of your foot and the shoe pointing straight ahead, then ride and adjust in small steps. If you have any history of knee trouble, a proper bike fit is worth more than any component you could buy. We can point you to someone.

How often do cleats need replacing?

When the walking pads are visibly worn down, when you can rock the shoe in the pedal, or when unclipping starts feeling unpredictable. Worn cleats release unexpectedly, which is how people fall at junctions. They are a cheap part - replace them before they become a problem.

Are they awkward to walk in?

Road cleats always are - the cleat sits proud of the sole. Shimano shape the SPD-SL cleat to give a stable walking platform and to resist clogging, but treat it as walking across a cafe, not hiking. Cleat covers are worth having.
