What Is It?
The Shimano SM-SH51 SPD Cleat Set with Plates is a genuine Shimano 2-bolt SPD cleat kit designed for use with Shimano SPD mountain bike, gravel, touring, and commuter pedals. Featuring a single-release design, the cleats disengage by twisting your heel outward, providing a secure connection and efficient power transfer for off-road and mixed-terrain riding.
The kit includes two SM-SH51 steel cleats, two cleat plates (nuts), and the required mounting bolts and washers, making it a complete replacement set for SPD-compatible cycling shoes. The cold-forged, heat-treated steel construction ensures exceptional durability and long service life under demanding riding conditions.
