It's important to remember to look after your kit as well as your bike, and replacing worn cleats early will prevent accidental unclipping and stop them getting seized in place on your shoes.
Here are seven steps to setting up clipless pedal cleats.
1. Remove the cleat bolts
Remove any dirt from the bolt heads with a pick and penetrating oil, then use a good-quality 4mm Allen key to remove the bolts, turning them anticlockwise.

2. Position the new cleat
Shimano cleats can go on either shoe. CrankBrothers pedal users should put the cleat with a dot on the right shoe for a 15° release angle and easier unclipping, or the left for 20° release. Place the cleat spacer between the cleat and sole, with the smooth side facing the cleat.
3. Screw in the cleat bolts
4. Set the fore/aft position of the cleat
5. Set the side-to-side position of the cleat
6. Set the cleat angle
7. Tighten the bolts
8. And you're done!
