How worn are your cleats?

[swee'pea99]

Don't think I'm going to be able to replace 'em...won't be able to get the damn things off!

Loads of life left in them yet! I wish I had my Summer shoes with me so I could post a picture of those.
Another few miles and to replace them, I'll be able to simply peel them away with a fingernail!

V similar to mine, on one pair of cycling shoes... have had them on there for 9 years, have only had to adjust them once, about 5 yrs ago, when one came loose.

 

[Panter]

Did you post once for each shoe?

 

[Levo-Lon]

I change my shoes more than my cleats...I have a marcos thing going on with shoes

Not very worn compared to those above but I hardly walk in them.

22 years old. They're the first and only cleats I've used, having seen off a few pairs of shoes and several sets of pedals.

Just had a look on my Birkenstock's and there aren't any cleats on them at all!

 

[Racing roadkill]

My spd's are starting to move whilst I'm trying to unclip, which is scary, they are done for, and I must change them, or I'll be going down like a sack of cack, soon. The SL's have just been changed, so they are fine.

I got about 20 years out of my first set also. Shoes and cleats went in the bin about a month ago.

Clean the allen key recesses out with a pin and they will unscrew no problem. (big safety pin is best)

Never has my mental picture of someone on cyclechat changed so quickly.

Mine look like iron-age relics.

It's new shoe time when they are too worn to work.

 

[buggi]

If they still work, don't worry about it. When the time comes, if you can't get em off then that's a good excuse for a new pair of shoes.

Don't worry, they're cool ones.
