Stripped Cleat Screws

Published March 22, 2009

Shimano SM-SH51 cleat in the bottom of my Sidi Bullet 2 shoes, with the 3mm hex head stripped out. Every screw did this when I went to change to Crank Bros Eggbeater cleats.

I just went to remove the Shimano SM-SH51 cleats from my biking shoes and the 3mm heads in each of the mounting screws stripped right out. I guess it’s time to go get some easy-outs and give drilling them out a go.
