What cleat float should I choose for road cycling?

Start with SM-SH11 (yellow, 6 degrees) — it allows your foot to move naturally and prevents knee strain. Only move to SM-SH10 (red, 0 degrees) if you are an experienced cyclist with a professional bike fit and no knee issues.

Can I use the PD-R550 with mountain bike shoes?

No — SPD-SL cleats require 3-bolt road cycling shoes with a smooth sole. Mountain bike shoes use 2-bolt SPD cleats and recessed soles. These are not interchangeable.

Are these pedals compatible with the Shimano SM-SH10 and SM-SH12 cleats?

Yes — SM-SH10 (red, 0-degree float) and SM-SH12 (grey, 2-degree float) are both compatible optional cleats for the PD-R550. The included SM-SH11 yellow is recommended for most riders.
