Beside this, what cleats do Crank Brothers use?To directly answer your question, yes, the Crank Bros Premium Cleat is the one you want. Premium cleats are a harder material, and will last longer than the cheaper brass cleats. both fit the same, and both offer the 15 or 20 degree float option based on mount position.One may also ask, do Shimano cleats work with Crank Brothers pedals? While many non-Shimano “SPD compatable” pedals may look the same, it is VERY rare that you will find non-Shimano pedals that will function properly with shimano brand cleats and vice-versa. It is HIGHLY recommended that you use the cleats that come with the pedals. Likewise, when should I replace my Crank Brothers cleats? Hannah also told us that Crankbrothers USA advises users to replace cleats after 300-500 hours of ride time, meaning for most of us riding for 3-4 hours a week we might need to replace cleats at about the 75 week or 18 month point if using 300hrs as a guide.What is cleat float?Most pedals and cleats have a degree of float to allow your feet to pivot slightly as you pedal. Float is measured in degrees and is the amount by which the foot can move before releasing from the pedal. Some cleats are zero-float, or fixed, which, as you can imagine, keeps your feet ‘locked in’ to the pedal.
