Fitting Cleats To Carbon Soles

I've just picked up some Spesh MTB Pro shoes in the sale as my 3 year old Spesh Comp shoes were about to disintegrate any ride now.
I've never owned a pair of carbon soled shoes before and wondered if there was anything different I needed to consider when fitting my Shimano cleats?

No problems with mine so far.
I wouldnt go changing cleat positions too often though as they have wee teeth that stop the cleat from budging.<font size="1"> Streako </font id="size1">

Do you have a torque wrench? I'd be paranoid about doing anything with carbon without a torque wrench and knowing the correct torque.0

Too late Grumsta. Cleats aligned and nipped up ready for this afternoons ride in The Peaks. I was careful not to apply too much power and stopped when there was a creak from the carbon sole but all is well. Just looking forward to testing them now on what looks like a beautiful autumn afternoon.\'Porridge is the weapon of choice\'

Personally id use crank brothers sole protectors, works with spd and other cleats, i bought them for my sidi's and they work well.The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
