SPD question

Richard Bates

I've purchased a pair of Shimano PD-M520 pedals.

In the box are the pedals, 2 cleats, 2 oblong "washers" which fit
inside the recess of the cleat, 4 bolts. And that's it.

I am missing the plate which fits inside the shoe, into which the
bolts screw.

Should these have come with my pedals or should they have come with my
shoes?

TIA

My Shimano shoes came with the plate, visible when the central rubber
part of the sole was removed.

IME the gubbins on the shoe end of things has always come with the
shoes. This is necessary as not all shoes have internal access to allow
you to insert plates.

I'm not sure because most of the shoes I've bought had plates installed as
standard except my newest pair which have a lift out sock liner with a plate
as described fitted, this is covered by a stick-on patch which I vaguely
recall sticking on.
The evidence in my case points to the plates coming with new pedals
especially as....
I have found in my garage 2 sets of the plates you're short of, so if you
are stuck for a set e-mail me and I'll bung a set in the post to you.
