Abstract:
An improved cleat assembly configured to be releasably secured to a clipless bicycle pedal comprises a first plate, a second plate disposed over the first plate, and plurality of spacers disposed between the first and second plates, the spacer separating the first and second plates a predetermined distance. The second plate may define a pedal aperture having a circumferential periphery comprising a first portion and a side tie portion and the side tie portion may be offset from the first portion. The cleat assembly may further comprise a cap disposed over at least the second plate wherein the second plate may comprise a first of an engagement pair and the cap may comprise a second of the engagement pair. The first and second of the engagement pair may cooperate to couple the cap and the second plate to affix the cap onto the cleat assembly.

Claim (Index 1):
A cleat assembly configured to be releasably secured to a clipless bicycle pedal, the cleat assembly comprising:\n a first plate; a metallic second plate shaped to be disposed over the first plate, the second plate defining a fully enclosed first pedal aperture having a circumferential periphery; an intermediate plate disposed between the first plate and the second plate; a plurality of metallic spacers configured to be disposed between the first and second plates, each of the plurality of spacers having a height to space apart the first and second plates at a predetermined distance when the plurality of spacers are disposed between the first and second plates; and at least one screw securing the second plate over the intermediate plate to the first plate; wherein at least one of the plurality of spacers has a bore extending therethrough; and wherein the at least one screw extends through the bore of the at least one of the plurality of spacers and applies an immobilizing force to the intermediate plate, the immobilizing force being sufficient to inhibit the intermediate plate from moving with respect to the first plate.
