  1. hi, just started riding the newer shimano spd-sl pedals.
    seems that even though my cleats are secured well in
    position on my shoes, there is still the ability for the
    cleat to slide sideways 1 or 2 centimeters. i'm not talking
    about the small amount of float, i'm talking about the
    entire cleat shifting from one side of the pedal to the
    other. i would prefer my shoes be as close to the crank arms
    as possible without touching, but once i start riding i
    notice that no matter what i do the cleats/shoe shift to the
    outsides of the pedals, leaving a several centimeter gap
    between the edge of my shoe and the crank arms, and yet it's
    not the cleats shifting on the shoe. what gives??? thanks

    That's strange. Mine don't so it's not a built in feature. I
    have the Ultegra model.
