There are two states - on the bike or on the ground - there doesn't
seem to be any state in between - it happens very quickly!

But not so quick that your cycling buddies don't have enough time to start
laughing before you hit the ground! 🙂

That is pretty much all I'm doing as well. I have notice that the
ridgy-didge black (fixed) ones laster forever, but red ones crack.

A contributing factor might be the combination of shoe and cleat position,
because they last longer on my crappy Netti shoes than my Time carbon's, but
I hardly use my nettis anymore.

I was wearing down to the bolts, but had the rear of the cleat chipping and
cracking long before the surface wear got bad.

I love the shimanos because they are made tougher and have extended bits
that protect the rest of the cleat.

And thanks for asking - yes, I did change shoes for the run leg!

I've converted from LOOKs to Shimano "LOOK-a-likes" SPD-SL. They use a
modified Look cleat that (in my experience) lasts a lot longer, but
seems to be the same in all other respects. The cleats are not
interchangable.

I made the switch because I was breaking/wearing through a set of red
cleats
every 3 months - and I was hardly walking on them.

and back. barring pnctures) but my red look cleats last 6-12 months
