2 Shimano Bike Cleats questions

vyaw2003@gmail.com

I got shimano sh 074s carbon shoes. they came with cleats but they
dont fit my Shimano Ultegra SPD-SL Pedals, what are they to fit??
They are a smaller black and grey cleat with no yellow rubbers.

I need to buy some cleats for my pedals. What are the difference
between SH11 - Float Sh10 - Fixed Mode cleats. cant find a definet
answer but i guess it is something to do with cleat angle on the
pedal, what is better? I want the cleat to be a solid clip in, not
some loose floating thing.

I do triathlons/tt's and not much climbing if that makes a difference

cheers

Don't know.

The red ones SH-10 have no float. So the shoe doesn't wiggle around
once clipped in. I like those too. The yellow ones have some float so
the shoe can wiggle a bit. Some people like that.

That should not make any difference. Float is a personal preference.

I suppose you could say the red ones are tighter. Once clipped in, the
shoe is held in a fixed position. With the yellow ones, once the shoe
is clipped in, the heel of the shoe can move from side to side a bit,
and the shoe can slide side to side too.

When you bolt the red ones on your shoes, make sure you get them
aligned so that it is comfortable. Take a wrench with you on a test
ride and make small changes until it feels just right.

Both the red and yellow fit the Ultegra SPD-SL pedals.

You sure they are cleats and not dummies?
