Cleat replacement blues?

After trying and failing for months to get completely comfortable with my replacement set of cleats for Look Keos' date=' it only took 10 minutes to get the speedplay pedals completely dialed in... haven't looked back since!

Can these screws be tightened while the shoe is clipped in?

Or do you have to take the shoe out / off the pedal to tighten them?

 

Would be really smart if some rocketscientest could make an affordable pedal system with cleats that could be tightened while the shoe is clipped in....

 

But then again sending robot explorers to Mars is probably more important and easier

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your whole idea of screwing in cleats while they are clipped in does have one flaw... if your feet are clipped in to the pedals, then how are you going to get a screwdriver underneath the pedals to tighten the screws? if not for that limitation I am sure someone would have thought of it by now...

 

 

Well I have that base covered, ve haf vays and means JA , problem is the keo's and most other cleats i have seen the pedal obstructs access to the 2 rear screws when the shoe is clipped in.

I wrapped my shoes in gladwrap and made a plaster of paris mould of the soles fitted with cleats in the correct position. I then drilled holes in the mould at the position that the screws made indentations.

when fitting new cleats i mounted the cleat loosly and placed the mould over the sole and simply inserted an allen key to nip the screws tighter. remove the mould and tughten properly - used to take 10 minutes to change cleats.

 

Damn, that's a solution to make an engineer proud . I've got to try it next time I replace my cleats.
