Product Information

Full details

This guide is for cyclists using Shimano SPD cleats and wanting to use them with road cycling shoes. The Shimano SM-SH41 adapter set enables the use of 2-bolt SPD cleats on 3 or 5-hole road shoe soles. A key benefit is the improved walkability and prevention of sole wear when using SPD cleats on road shoes. Note that this adapter is only compatible with SPD cleats and not SPD-SL or other cleat systems.
