Are Speedplay zero cleats compatable with Mavic Aksium III shoes? I can find the Speedplay compatibility guide but all it says about Mavic is that pre-2009 shoes are not compatable. Can't seem to find any more info!!?! Help!

    Q&A at Evans says yes:

    I've never had any issues getting the shims to work with both Lake and Shimano in the past - they seem to cover lots of options in the pack.

    If your shoes are 3 hole and take Shimano spd sl cleats , Speedplay will fit. They come with adapters that screw into the 3 holes. I would think any 3 hole fitting shoe would take Speedplay without any issues.

    I have Speedplay X series mounted on 3 pairs of Mavic's, pretty certain their is no difference in X and Zero mountings.

    Speedplay are compatible with any shoe. You just need the 4 hole adapter for soles with 3 holes.

    Really wish more manufacturers would make SP specific models as the adapters take something away from the whole design concept of the SP's for me.

    I had a pair of Lakes few years back that were SP specific, but now moved to S-Works which aren't.

    Would it have been that much of an issue for SP do design a cleat that was directly compatible with the three hole system? Afterall, the standard's been in use for quite a while now...
