![]() ![]() If the shoe tread is too tall then the cleat doesn’t clip all the way in, but if it’s too shallow (worn down) then your shoe will rock on the cleat. There is also one other thing that can affect how a two-bolt cleat feels, the shoe tread. ![]() All the cleats new out of the box feel very secure, almost too secure and do need a few rides to break in. Wow, that’s a lot of options now but really the 6° of float versions are for most of us, leave the 0° of float to the pros.įor the test, we swapped between the standard 15° release with 6° of float and the new easy 10° release with 6° of float. The standard 15° release with 6° of float, A standard 15° release with 0° of float, an easy 10° release with 6° of float and last the easy 10° release with 0° of float. Well Crankbrothers has been listening and now offers four options. For many, this seems and feels so different from their three-bolt road cleats that they didn’t even give them a chance. If you swapped the cleats, right cleat on the left shoe and vise versa then the release is increased to 20 degrees. David and a few other three-bolt, paved road only kinda people look at the float and release angles offered in two-bolt cleats and almost always opt for an SPD style with around 4-6 degrees of float/ release, whether it’s Xpedo, Shimano, Time or any of the many other options.Ĭrankbrother until recently really only offered one cleat, it has 6 degrees of float and a release angle of 15 degrees. While Zap and I almost always opt for a colorful set of Crankbrothers Candy pedals David seems to prefer his Shimano XT pedals. Sure we have and do use many of the other options out there and they all work pretty much the same. Here in the office, we are split between Shimano SPD and Crankbrothers. When it comes to clipless pedals for gravel the market is full of two-bolt cleat/ pedal options. ![]()
