Steps For Attaching Ultra Light Action Walkable™ Cleats to The Shoes:
Using Shoes with 3-Hole Mounting Pattern
Use only Walkable™ Cleat Fastening Screws supplied with Ultra Light Action Walkable™
WARNING
!
Cleats. Do NOT use previous versions of Cleat Fastening Screws with the Ultra Light Action Walkable™
Cleats. All previous versions of Cleat Fastening Screws are not compatible for use with Ultra Light Action Walk-
able™ Cleats and can affect the engagement and retention of the Pedal System which can lead to a fall that can
result in severe injury. Never install cleats using any combination of new cleat parts and old cleat parts.
When replacing cleats, replace all used parts with new Ultra Light Action Walkable™ Cleat parts.
1. Select the LEFT cleat for the LEFT shoe and the RIGHT cleat for the RIGHT shoe. Determine which set of
Snap Shims is required for your shoes (set of 5-F and 5-R or set of 6-F and 6-R). For the most current informa-
tion on shoe compatibility, visit the Speedplay Road Shoe Compatibility Guide online at
www.speedplay.com or contact Speedplay for assistance. The Snap Shims are removable, curved, blue plastic
shims that snap onto the forward and rear ends of the underside of each V.2 Black Plastic Base Plate. The Snap
Shims allow the flat V.2 Base Plate to closely match the curvature of the sole of most shoe brands. Remember,
the shoe sole must have a continuous curvature (radius) and be flat from side-to-side at the Cleat-contact area
to closely match the contour of the V.2 Base Plate. The 5-F & 5-R Snap Shims are factory-installed on the V.2
Base Plate. If your shoes require the two (2) 6-F and two (2) 6-R Snap Shims, first remove the two (2) 5-F and
two (2) 5-R Snap Shims by carefully prying them off each V.2 Base Plate, then install the two (2) 6-F and two
(2) 6-R Snap Shims. Be sure not to lose the four (4) nuts housed underneath the Snap Shims on each V.2 Base
Plate when exchanging one set of Snap Shims for another.
2. Select the proper length 5mm Cleat Mounting Screws (6) to attach the V.2 Base Plate to the shoe sole. (Black
= short screws; Silver = long screws.) The correct length of the 5mm Mounting Screws must have a minimum
of five (5) full turns of thread engagement in the shoe sole. Use only the proprietary Speedplay 5mm Mounting
Screws provided with the Pedals as other screws will not work and may cause damage to the Cleats and Ped-
als. The Speedplay Black 5mm screws adequately thread into most shoe brands.
WARNING You must make sure to choose the proper length Speedplay 5mm Mounting Screws suited
!
for your brand and model of shoe. If the Speedplay 5mm Mounting Screws selected are too short to
sufficiently engage the threads in the sole of your shoe, the Ultra Light Action Walkable™ Cleat may
pull away from the shoe unexpectedly, causing a fall that could result in severe injury. If the Speedplay
5mm Mounting Screws selected are too long for your shoe sole, the screws may protrude through the
threaded inserts in the sole and up into the foot bed of the shoe, causing discomfort when riding.
Never install cleats using any combination of new cleat parts and old cleat parts. When
WARNING
!
replacing cleats, replace all used parts with new Ultra Light Action Walkable™ Cleat parts.
3. Place a V.2 Black Base Plate on the sole of the LEFT shoe and a V.2 Black Base Plate on the sole of the
RIGHT shoe. The slots in each V.2 Black Base Plate allow front-to-back Cleat adjustment.
4. Position each V.2 Black Base Plate centerline scribe mark over the ball of the foot or where personal prefer-
ence dictates. Insert the short, black Speedplay 5mm Cleat Mounting Screws (see 2. above) first and tighten
the three (3) screws on each V.2 Base Plate securely with a #2 Phillips screwdriver. The correct length of the
5mm Cleat Mounting Screws must have a minimum of five (5) full turns of thread engagement in the shoe sole.
If the short, black, 5mm Cleat Mounting Screws do not provide adequate threading, use the longer, silver, 5mm
Cleat Mounting Screws instead.
NOTE: If a greater range of either forward or rearward adjustment is needed, use the Speedplay Walkable™
Cleat Extender Base Plate Kit (Part #14250 sold separately) in place of the standard V.2 Base Plate.
DO NOT over-tighten -- Maximum Mounting Screw Torque is 4.0 Nm / 35 inch pounds.
WARNING
!
Over-tightening the 5mm mounting screws may cause damage to the V.2 Base Plate. See WARNINGS under
"General Safety Information".
Improperly Mounted V.2 Base Plate: The V.2 Base Plate is improperly mounted on the shoe
WARNING

when using the factory-installed 5-F and 5-R Snap Shims if:
a) The outer flat surface of the V.2 Base Plate is bowed outward:
If the V.2 Base Plate is bowed outward in the center, use the 6-F and 6-R set of Snap Shims, which is de-
signed to fit a smaller radius sole curvature. Before installing the 6-F and 6-R Snap Shims, be sure to remove
the original factory mounted 5-F and 5-R Snap Shims from the V.2 Base Plate. If the V.2 Base Plate continues
to bow outward in the center when using the 6-F and 6-R Snap Shims, install the supplied EXTRA SHIM under

b) The outer flat surface of the V.2 Base Plate is bowed inward: If the V.2 Base Plate is bowed inward in
the center, call Speedplay for technical assistance.
c) The V.2 Base Plate has a twist from front to back: If the V.2 Base Plate is twisted when mounted, the sup-
plied EXTRA SHIM must be installed between the shoe sole and the V.2 Base Plate. Place the EXTRA SHIM
under the appropriate rear mounting screw to raise the low side of the V.2 Base Plate to make it flat.
The flat contact surface of the Ultra Light Action Walkable™ Cleat Spring Housing must fit
CAUTION
!
flat against the V.2 Black Plastic Base Plate when installing the Spring Housing and Metal Bottom Plate
for the Ultra Light Action Pedal System to engage securely and release properly.
5. The Ultra Light Action Walkable™ Cleat Spring Housing and Black Metal Bottom Plate fit together to form
an assembly. Before joining the two parts together, verify that the Cleat Spring is installed into the Spring
Housing so that the stamped symbol on the spring is visible. Make sure the small locater pins protruding out
of each Spring Housing fit properly into the corresponding alignment holes in each Black Metal Bottom Plate.
The word "LEFT" on the LEFT Spring Housing should be visible after the LEFT Metal Bottom Plate has been
correctly placed on the LEFT Spring Housing to form an assembly. The word "RIGHT" on the RIGHT Spring
Housing should be visible after the RIGHT Metal Bottom Plate has been correctly placed on the RIGHT Spring
Housing to form an assembly. Once each Spring Housing and Metal Bottom Plate are fitted together, place the
Spring Housing and Metal Bottom Plate assembly marked "LEFT" on the V.2 Base Plate installed on the LEFT
shoe and place the Spring Housing and Metal Bottom Plate assembly marked "RIGHT" on the V.2 Base Plate
installed on the RIGHT shoe.
6. Thread, but do not fully tighten, the four (4) Walkable™ Cleat Fastening screws through the slots in the Metal
Bottom Plate and Spring Housing assembly on the LEFT shoe and into the threaded holes in the V.2 Black
Plastic Base Plate on the LEFT shoe. Repeat for the RIGHT shoe.
7. Side-to-side Ultra Light Action Walkable™ Cleat adjustment - Once the LEFT Spring Housing and LEFT Met-
al Bottom Plate assembly are fastened to the V.2 Base Plate installed on the LEFT shoe, engage the shoe with
the LEFT cleat assembly onto the LEFT Speedplay Ultra Light Action Pedal installed on your bicycle. Adjust
the LEFT Spring Housing and Metal Bottom Plate of the Cleat assembly from side-to-side to provide adequate
clearance between the toe box and the heel of the LEFT shoe and the crank arm of the bicycle. The toe box
of the shoe should clear the crank arm when releasing from the Pedal. The heel of the shoe should be clear of
the crank arm during the pedal stroke. Repeat for the RIGHT shoe. If the toe box or heel of your shoe does not
clear the crank arm of your bicycle, contact Speedplay for technical assistance.
NOTE: If a greater range of either inward or outward stance width is needed, Speedplay offers shorter and
longer spindle options for stainless steel pedals.
8. After side-to-side positioning of the LEFT Ultra Light Action Walkable™ Cleat has been determined, fully
thread the four (4) Walkable™ Cleat Fastening Screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver into the Metal Bottom
Plate. Tighten to 2.5 Nm / 22 inch pounds. If you do not have a torque wrench to tighten to Nm or inch
pounds, then tighten the slack out of each screw with a #2 Phillips screwdriver until you feel a noticeable
pre-load resistance (notching) from the detents under the screw head biting into the Metal Bottom Plate. After
noticeable detent resistance is felt, tighten each screw no more than 1/4 turn (90 degrees). The correct length
of Walkable™ Cleat Fastening Screws must have a minimum of five (5) full turns of thread engagement. Repeat
with the RIGHT shoe.
The Maximum Walkable™ Cleat Fastening Screw Torque = 2.5 Nm / 22 inch pounds. DO

with Cleat onto the LEFT Pedal and the RIGHT shoe with Cleat onto the RIGHT Pedal. When the Ultra Light
Action Walkable™ Cleats are mounted correctly, the Ultra Light Action Pedals should float in the Ultra Light
Action Walkable™ Cleats with little resistance and should emit a crisp, audible snap when the cleat springs
engage the grooves of the pedals. SPEEDPLAY ULTRA LIGHT ACTION WALKABLE™ CLEATS MUST BE
PROPERLY MOUNTED OR INADVERTENT RELEASE MAY OCCUR CAUSING A FALL THAT COULD RE-
SULT IN SEVERE INJURY.
Using Shoes with 4-Hole Mounting Pattern
1. Shoe soles with a 4-hole pattern eliminate the need for the standard V.2 Black Plastic Base Plate. For
shoes with a 4-hole pattern, the LEFT and RIGHT Gray Spring Housings fit directly against the shoe sole.

sole. If the Walkable™ Cleat Protector Shim Kit is not used, serious wear damage to the shoe sole
and the Ultra Light Action Walkable™ Cleat will result.
2. The Ultra Light Action Walkable™ Cleat Spring Housings and Black Metal Bottom Plates fit together to
form an assembly. Before joining the two parts together, verify that the Cleat Spring is installed into the
Gray Spring Housing so that the stamped symbol on the spring is visible. Make sure the small locater pins
protruding out of each Spring Housing properly fit into the corresponding alignment holes in each Metal
Bottom Plate. The word "LEFT" on the LEFT Spring Housing should be visible after the LEFT Metal Bottom
Plate has been correctly placed on the LEFT Spring Housing to form an assembly. The word "RIGHT" on
the RIGHT Spring Housing should be visible after the RIGHT Metal Bottom Plate has been correctly placed
on the RIGHT Spring Housing to form an assembly. Once each Spring Housing and Metal Bottom Plate are
fitted together to form an assembly, place the Spring Housing and Metal Bottom Plate assembly marked
"LEFT" directly against the shoe sole of the LEFT shoe and place the Spring Housing and Metal Bottom
