Thinvik Road Bike Cleats for Shimano SPD-SL Locking Cycling Pedals Cleat for Shimano SH10 SH11 SH12 System Shoes

Perfect replacement without spending a ton.

So far so good. These fit my SPD-SL pedals without issue and have held up well after several months of use. Price was decent. 5 stars from me.

I have years of road bike experience using Shimano SPD SL (yellow 6) cleats before switching to the Thinvik (blue 2). Going from 6 degree of float to 2 required more precise installation and I use the full 2 degree. I have worn out many pairs of Shimano (yellow) cleats. Almost always the toe area wears out through the softer nylon (colored) material. The Thinvik blue have lasted about twice as long for half the cost.

I installed this only once and torqued it to spec. The bolt heads strip very easily. Also, the rectangular washer snapped (see photo) under normal use. UPDATE: Thinvik proactively contacted me about this issue, refunded my purchase, and sent me a free trial for a newer version as a replacement to “make it right for you.” That was a very welcomed customer service move! I upgraded it from 1 star to 4. They messaged me that they are working on improving the quality of the product but that manufacturing defects sometimes happen that are out of their control. The responsiveness and concern of Thinvik was impressive. I will give their cleats another honest try!

I went from original Shimano SPD-Sls to this new brand. I have been riding fixed gear for about ten years now. The cleat clicks in easily and clicks out with ease. It feels sturdy when you are clipped in. I currently ride them with very little float as I like a stiff ride. They feel strong and appear to be made of high quality. The feel of the clip does feel slightly loose, but that could be because of my pedal. There is a notable difference from my old cleats to these new ones, however. Overall, they're a perfect replacement when you're not racing and excellent for trainig. P.S. I ride brakeless so I prefer a strong, stiff clip to brake quickly.

Great

These were very very difficult to clip into and out of. I ended up having to replace them with a different brand because they were so hard to use.

I put in 300 miles with these already. My only problem is that they are not breaking in and the clip is still very stiff. Which has caused me to fall 3-4 times already cuz I couldn't pull my foot out quick enough. I'm 55 and pretty athletic so I didn't really hurt myself, but I do have some good scrapes and bruises from the falls. The clips themself are flawless and mount well and don't move once installed. I'd buy them again. But I would try another brand just to see if after 50-60 unclips, they get a little less tight to help me with pullouts when I stop the bike to be less risky. These certainly stay tight. The plastic is very stiff. I had another version of these same ones and the plastic was a bit softer, but they wore out quickly. And broke in well. Certainly not these. {update} - Just replaced these after 800 miles. The yellow parts wore out in some areas. I decided to go with name brand Shimano this time. I wanted to see the difference. I immediately noticed a difference. 1) The Shimano unclipped a bit easier in quick "need to unclip before I'm about to lean over too much moments". Whereas these imitation ones didn't unclip quick enough and I ended up on my side a couple of times in the middle of the street next to cars a couple of times. Secondly, these also seem to wear out more unevenly than the Shimano. These are just not worth it for me. I'm no longer getting these. Lowered my star rating from 4 to 3. I ride about 70 miles per week to give you an idea and I ride about 5,000 miles a year.

適度な固定力で長持ちします。青も使いましたが、一般道路ではペダルを外す機会が多いので、黄色がやはり最適です。 長落ちのために、カバーを買って取り付けています。これによって歩く時も非常に歩きやすく、長もちするようになりました。値段もそれなりの合理的な値段だと思いました。

Encajan perfectamente. Pero son algo más endebles que las originales shimano.

Have done nearly a whole season riding with these and they have worked really well, certainly no complaints
