I've converted everything over to Quattro/Egg Beater on my bikes, which generally take a 2 bolt cleat (I know there is a 3 bolt Crank Brothers adapter). As we approach the race season here looking at shoes, pretty much you are limited to either lower end shoes, which include SPD 2 bolt compatibility or higher end 3 hole (Look/SPD-R) shoes with an adapter plate.
Does anyone have any direct experience with any of the adapater plates for example, Time, SIDI or Shimano plates (and the Crank Brothers ones). Do they anchor the cleats well? Do they overly increase the stack height for the cleats? Opinions/Recommendations.
I used the Crank Brothers plastic mounting surround for the 2 hole cleat for a few weeks before taking it off and just using the plastic shim. It was great for walking but the squeaking between it and the carbon sole on my current shoe drove me nuts. So naturally if you've used an adapter did you have issues with noise?
