Not all rides are solely focused on pedalling. Sometimes the highlight is a perfectly timed coffee shop stop or photo op at the top of a high alpine pass. But that means time off the bike, which can cause premature wear of your Shimano SPD-SL cleatsand be especially precarious if youre walking on a slippery surface. With the SM-SH45 SPD-SL Cleat Covers you can protect your cleats and up your traction, grip, and stability when off the bike.
