The Shimano SPD-SL Cleat Nut 5 Hole Type is a small but essential spare part designed to keep your road cycling shoes and pedals performing flawlessly. Specifically made for Shimano SPD-SL road systems, this cleat nut plate sits inside the sole of compatible cycling shoes and provides secure threaded anchors for your cleat bolts. Over time, original nut plates can become worn, corroded, or damaged, making it harder to achieve a safe and reliable cleat connection. Replacing them with genuine Shimano hardware helps restore a solid interface between shoe and pedal.
This 5-hole type cleat nut is ideal for riders who frequently swap cleats, ride in all weather conditions, or simply want the reassurance of fresh hardware during a shoe or cleat upgrade. Installation is straightforward: remove the insole, slide out the old plate, and position the new nut so the threaded holes align with the cleat slots. By using an authentic Shimano replacement, you maintain proper fit, consistent engagement, and long-term durability, ensuring your SPD-SL system continues to deliver efficient power transfer and confident clipping in and out on every ride.
