Can't fit the cleats to MO76 shoes. Instruction

a lot of shimano fasteners are the same.





with the thumb or finger PRESS the black clip you mentioned into the shoe against the ratchet strip underneath. as if closing a press stud. At the same tiime pull the shoe tongue and the ratches strip will come free.


see this video of other model with same fastner. see at point 1:35 onwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL-_pFZKp2w





I hope this was useful.

Go to your local auto parts store and buy a tube of locktite (for threads). Apply it on the threads of the screws and then tighten them down again (follow the instructions on the tube). There are set up time instructions on the tube - if you follow them correctly - you won't have any more trouble with them coming loose.

All SPD pedals use a 2-hole side-by-side mounting pattern. Your shoes must have this same pattern or this is no way to mount the cleats.

Look at the bottom of your shoes:

Is there a 3 hole pattern in the shape of a triangle? Then this is a Road shoe, it may or may not have the 2 hole option. If it has the 2-hole option then you will see generally one fixed hole and a long slot next too it. If there is no threaded insert then one has too be added. Some road shoes that are capable of having the 2-hole option need an internal adapter.

If you have mountain bike shoes (shoes that the cleat once installed is recessed), then you should see two side by side holes. Again some shoes need an internal adapter to provide the threading to screw into. These should have come with your shoes. If you don't see any holes, then you may have a cover that needs removing to gain access.

If neither of these is your scenario then you should consider visiting a bike shop to have them look at your shoes and see what the exact problem is. Any half-way decent mechanic or shop person could tell you in a couple seconds if the shoes and pedals are compatible.

A specialized shoe will improve your efficiency because they clip onto performance cycling pedals allowing you to pull them up as well as push down. They are not a necessity for the casual cyclist who cycles less than 5 miles, or less than three times a week, but for the performance driven cyclist they are essential.There are two types of cycling shoes -1. Mountain cycling shoes: these shoes have recessed cleats and a flexible sole, thus making them easier to walk in than road cycling shoes. They are a better fit for the casual rider, the commute rider and the mountain biker where you may need to get off your bike to walk or carry your bike over an obstacle.
2. Road cycling shoes: the cleats on these type of shoes are not recessed they are instead attached to the out-sole of the shoe, they are also much stiffer than mountain shoes making them harder to walk in. These road shoes are for cyclists who strive for performance.

You adjust your cleats on your shoes, not the pedal.

ps - kindly rate my answer. thanks

SPD hold on to cleats with a spring loaded action. This is normally adjusted with an allen key. Check that this is not screwed in so tight that action is locked up. If you don't have adjustment instructions go to shimano.com and download. You should be able to check for movement by pushing against spring clip with screwdriver (saves the fingers but mind it doesn't slip). If no movement also check for foreign body in pivot of clip. If all OK check for position of cleat in shoe. Make sure mount position is same as other shoe.

The red cleats have 9 degrees of float and the grey cleats have 4.5 degees. What you describe is normal and you soon get used to it and I really like these pedals.
