SPD SL cleats

[Dave Davenport]

Need some new cleats and the cheapest I can find them is £18 (not near a Decathlon), can get a set of pedals with them for £25.

I've already got one spare pair but I begrudge paying 18 quid for a couple of bits of plastic and I might get a tenner for the pedals at the next club auction. Unless anyone on here needs some pedals without cleats?

Have you tried Ebay.. I got cleats off there for £5.99 inc P&P

A pair of SPD cleats for about £14? Two M 520 pedals including cleats, £22.

Madness! ( ...and don't get me on the subject of ten speed chain quick links....)
Are all cyclists investment bankers?

its a bit like chainrings,often cheaper to buy a new chainset,than just the rings

Probably this belongs in the Know How bit, but just what sort of wear should you get out of a pair of SPD cleats? Is c.1,500 miles unreasonable?

Well, I did 4k miles or so in 2009, 6.25 last year, and 3,100 so far this year, I reckon about 3/4 of at least wearing the same pair of shoes with the same pair of cleats, and they're still fine...

I only got 200km out of a pair of look keo cleats, although they did do a lot of unexpected walking, doesn't do a lot for the lifespan of a cleat. I've now got new cleats and cleat covers.
