Cleat charade

3 x Pedal-System : 12 x Pedal-Cleat

Variability of properties, user-friendliness & practicability

SELECTION

SPD

Easy Going: SPD

All types of SPD: integration of pedal and shoe.
This system engineering provides safety as well as walkability, reliability, power transmission, freedom of movement, control and grip.
Walking & pedaling for great off-road adventures!

KEO

KEO: compact design

The KEO Standard has memory positioning and is available in two models and three colors each
(black, gray, red), it is either with or no anti-slip grip. The model “Keo “Grip” is characterized
by an additional anti-slip rubber coating.

KEO black: 0° float

The black cleat option does not allow any flow.

Firmly fixed, there is little backup for the heel, adjust precisely!

KEO red: 9° float

The 9° option provides the greatest float for the heels.

The knees have resilience up to 4.5° to each side

KEO grey: 4,5° float

The gray cleat has a float angle of 4.5°.

That is 2.25° freedom to each side. Knees and ankles experience it.

SPD – SL

SPD-SL: Shimano Road

Shimano road bike cleats are characterized by walking aids. Two elevated points save
the cleat cut-out when walking. Available in three colors (yellow, blue, red) and three float options

SPD-SL yellow: 6° float

The yellow SPD-SL cleats are characterized by a 6° float. 3° to each side and in addition there is a possible movement along the pedal axis. This wide range puts less stress on the joints. The pivot point is centered in the middle of the cleat.

SPD-SL blue: 2° float

The blue SPD-SL cleats are positioned between yellow and red. Rotation angle of 2° (1° in each direction).
The float pivot is located at the front of the cleat, which prevents transverse movements.

SPD-SL red: Zero float

The red SPD-SL cleats offer zero movement to the side. This guarantees the most efficient power transmission possible.
The adjustment leaves no safety for the knees, a precise adjustment is obligatory to gain a smooth ride

DIFFERENCES

SPECIFIC DIFFERENCES

DECISION-MAKING AID

Each pedal concept has its own specific and functional characteristics:

Look Keo, Shimano SPD & SPD-SL – compatible pedals

The shape, function and material of the pedal cleats are decisive for cleat positioning. There is a variability in the displacement of the cleat and the space available for the washers used: Look pedals have a wider Q-factor (53 mm) than Shimano (52 mm). The Look pedal axles have a longer thread that can accommodate up to 4 mm washers. The original washers are black 2mm washers that fit unexcited between the axle and crank.

(Look KEO Shimano SPD and SPD-SL are registered brands)

COLOR : CODE

The colors of the cleats are not standardized!

Pedal cleats and their characteristics, such as the float angle, vary from different manufacturers.

PEDAL : BUYING AID

The SABLONA is also a pedal buying guide:
All vailable axle lengths and float angles are shown

Lines, angles & letters

Once the basic bio-anatomical requirements are set, the
V-II-A concept provides a basic service:

Q-FACTOR

Limit

The two lateral lines represent the distance between the center of the axle and the crank.

A standard length and the second length (both Q-factors) are symbolized as limits.

AXIS LENGHT

OVERVIEW

The all-known Q-factor (distance between pedal center and crank) has obviously been determined at some point and has virtually become the standard. But axle lengths are different, not only between road bikes and MTBs:



Shimano	52 mm
Look	53mm
SQ Lab	53mm
Speedplay	53mm
Garmin	53mm
Favero	54mm
Powertap	55mm
Time	53mm

Rennrad:

Shimano	long axle	+4mm
Look	with washer	+2mm
SQ Lab		-5mm, +8mm, +15 mm Achsen
Speedplay		-3mm + 3mm, +6mm, +12 mm
Garmin	via spacer	+2mm
Favero	Shimano	+12mm (bei 52mm)
Powertap
Time	Cleat L/R	+/- 2,5mm

AXLE LENGHT

The heel should not protrude beyond the specified limit.
If your pedal has a different Q-factor, add this limit line.

Drawing in your own Q-factors

An exact and straight line can be drawn with a ruler and a thin permanent marker
