Description
These Shimano SM-SH51 cleats are the single release version of the well-known SPD cleats from Shimano and can be mounted on your mountain bike or spinning shoes.
Single release
Single release means that you can only click out in one way, namely by moving your heel outwards. This ensures that you are always very tightly secured in your pedal, making these cleats more suitable for cyclists who are already used to clicking in and out with SPD pedals.
Novice cyclist?
For novice cyclists we recommend the counterpart of these cleats, namely the Shimano SM-SH56. These silver-coloured cleats have a lateral play of three degrees and have more click-out options, which is why they are called the multi-release version.

Description
The Shimano SH-SM56 cleats are so-called multi-release cleats. This means that you can click out in three ways. By moving your heel outwards, pulling your shoe diagonally to the right and/or upwards. These many ways of clicking out make these pedals suitable for beginners and for bikers who are not yet completely confident with their click pedals. If you regularly do jumps, these cleats are not recommended. When jumping, your feet sometimes make unexpected movements and you may accidentally click out. Have
