Do these pedals use their own proprietry cleats? They look similar to Shimani SPD-SL. :?
I guess what I'm asking is if the other cleats (Keo, delta, etc) will work with BBB pedals.
Thanks,

    They are Look compatible.

    The classic Look deltas, not Keo.

    Not all pedals are the same even if they look it.

    I bought new shoes a few months back, and had the BBB SPD cleats put on, supposedly compatible with the Shimano SPD pedals. I quickly found that however I tightened the spring on the pedals I was using (Shimano M540) the shoes were constantly popping out, and at the worst times like taking off at the lights.

    I changed to proper Shimano ones, and didn't have that problem afterwards.

    Of course having overtightened the pedals I couldn't get my feet out either and had an embarrassing crash when I came to a stop and couldn't get out, but once that was sorted (no damage to bike or rider) I was fine.

    Moral, use a single brand for something critical like that, don't assume compatible is as claimed.

    I actually use the BBB pedals on my Race bike, with standard Look cleats.

    I have never had a problem.
