SPD Compatibility

[428 others]

Morning All,

 

I'm in the market for new pedals and was looking at getting Look X-Track pedals. Now the other bike has XT's on, so my question is, are the cleats cross compatible?

 

I've seen on the web, it seems to be the case. Would like some input from someone with actual experience, please.

The cleats are compatible will all SPD standard shoes. They are strictly identical, no matter what side they are fixed on (same cleat on the left and right) but it is imperative to respect the suggested orientation (see paragraph fitting cleats).

 

You can probably trust the manufacturer.

Thanks!

Apparently these are compatible, but the Shimano - Shimano interface are smoother than e.g Look - Shimano

There are marginal differences in the way the cleat interfaces, but one in they are the same. I have X-Track, Shimano and Ryder pedals and only one set of shoes and cleats. 

 

No issues, just different amounts of float depending on the pedal.

Correct the main difference is the width on the cut out in the jaw to provide the float.

I went from SPD to LOOK and the never changed the cleats, can't really tell the difference so they certainly are compatible.
