Back in the good/bad old days, the reason you replaced pedal cage plates (typically aluminum) was because they were eaten alive by steel cleats. -- Jay Beattie Steel cleats? Its been about 25 years since I used toeclips and cleats, but I am pretty sure my cleats were plastic. Some Duegi shoes. Back in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, were cleats steel? Seems to me they would have been cast aluminum. Not steel. |

I used nail-on cleats for years before getting my first pair of Duigis with plastic bolt-on cleats. Anyway, metal cleats could eat up the edge of a SR pedal. -- Jay Beattie. |

Just for curiosity. Did anyone here when using the Old School toe-clip pedals with removable rear kick-tab plates ever need to replace the kick-tab plate on any of their pedals? If so, why? Broken kick-tab? Cheers Thanks all for your input. It seems that back in the days of metal cleats that a replaceable rear pedal plate was useful but with the advent and widespread adoption of plastic or resin cleats the need to replace a plate was very nearly zero. that might explain why one set of 105 pedals has the replaceable cage and the other pair of 105 pedals does not.
