Cleats are the connecting piece between the pedal and the clipless shoe or the clipless pedal adapter. They are available from a variety of manufacturers in different designs. In principle, however, they differ mainly in the arrangement of the mounting holes. There are two-hole cleats (EXPLORE) or three-hole cleats (ROAD). Cleats are usually supplied with the pedals. Since they can wear out after a while, they can also be purchased separately.
