SPD plokštelė Shimano SM­SH51 PD­MTB

Shimano SM-SH51 are single-direction release SPD shoe cleats designed for mountain bike, gravel, touring and everyday cycling shoes used with compatible Shimano SPD pedals.

Key Features

Construction and Design

The cleats are cold-forged and specially heat-treated to provide rigidity and durability under intensive use. Their compact two-bolt design sits inside the recessed sole of compatible cycling shoes, reducing contact with the ground while walking.

Main Functions

SM-SH51 cleats release from the pedal by twisting the heel outwards. The single-direction release mechanism keeps the foot securely connected to the pedal and helps reduce accidental disengagement during active pedalling.

The SPD system connects the shoe directly to the pedal to support efficient power transfer. The cleat position can be adjusted forwards, backwards and sideways to suit the rider’s natural foot position.

Use and Compatibility

The cleats are designed for cycling shoes with a standard two-bolt SPD mounting pattern and compatible Shimano SPD pedals. They are not suitable for three-bolt SPD-SL road shoes or pedals.

Both cleats should be positioned evenly and the mounting bolts tightened correctly during installation. Release tension is adjusted on the pedal mechanism rather than on the cleat itself.

Additional Features

The SM-SH51 is a single-direction release model and provides a more secure pedal connection than the multi-release SM-SH56 cleat. Worn, damaged or difficult-to-engage cleats should be replaced.

Summary

Shimano SM-SH51 cleats are intended for cyclists using an SPD pedal system who require a stable connection between the shoes and pedals. Their durable steel construction, adjustable mounting position and outward heel release make them suitable for mountain biking, gravel riding, touring and everyday cycling.
