Broke my new shoes/cleats
Cupras
Posts: 145
I purchased some shimano 105 pedals 2 weeks ago. I fitted the pedals and the cleats to some brand new shimano shoes I bought at the same time (different shop).
I fitted the cleats and have ridden around 150 miles but 2 of the bolts on the right foot have sheered off losing the rectangular parts that hold the screw to the shoe.
Does anyone have any idea where I can purchase the bolts and the little rectangular pieces of metal too as I think that will be cheaper than paying the shipping of sending the pedals back.
I could also change cleats to some red ones I have been eying up but I was hoping to get more than 2 weeks out of the new ones.

I lost a couple of screws out of my first set of Look cleats and a mate gave me some. I now keep a stock of spares just in case.0

Good on you Bookwyse.
Cupras - Sounds like you did the bolts up too tight and they cracked under the pressure (I've done it, the head fails at the top of the bolt/bottom of the allen key hole).0 -
You always get bolts with new cleats. You will not always need new replacements. When you next replace the cleats, save the old bolts.0

I've got some spares too if you need them,pm me if needed,i carry a spare with me now as you never know

Thanks for the offer Bookwyse and Nort757. Very nice of you both but it turns out when I left my shoes on my radiator airing thing to dry after commuting in the rain that's when the bolts had snapped so I found the square washers and I got some screws from my LBS.
