Seems that is the Look Memory Eyelet, where you can attach some kind of tab to help get replacement cleats in the same position. This Keo page seems to have a video on the subject, but I can't view it immediately ...

To directly answer your question, yes, the Crank Bros Premium Cleat is the one you want. Per their webiste - compatibility: eggbeater, candy, smarty, acid, mallet ( http://www.crankbrothers.com/accessories_premium_cleat.php ) Some good FAQ on these from Crank Bros: http://www.crankbrothers.com/support/faq_candy.php

Of course the more the cleat interacts with other surfaces, the more it wears. My experience with SPD-SL cleats is the "primary unclipping foot" wears down a bit quicker, but the difference is pretty insignificant - I've always found both need replacing at the same time Is the action of inserting the cleat that damaging? or is it the standing on the ...

I see from your other question that they're Look Keos. As they're plastic, they're going to ware quicker than a metal cleat, and yes, you could swap them around. However, I think a better strategy might well be to replace them one at a time as they wear out. Plastic stuff doesn't really like being repeatably removed and reattached in most situations and ...

I have similar problems as you describe, but mine come from dirt, mud, and other things that get caught in while doing MTB. Aside from that, the Shimano SPD pedals develop some sort of a lip as they wear out, in the side "ramps" that rise the cleat when you twist the foot sideways. It happens in similar fashion as if you repeatedly hit the end of a metal ...

To my knowledge, there's no time frame that's given as a guideline. I would think that the reason for that is that there are too many rider-specific factors that contribute to their wear, or lack thereof. I've always heard that they should be changed when they're either hard to engage, won't stay engaged, or hard to disengage. Under that criteria, it sounds ...

It's going to be highly variable. If it is always the same foot that you use to unclip, then it may be as simple as being dragged/scraped on the ground at stops. Also, as has been pointed out, the more you use a specific cleat the more that it will wear. Another thing that could be contributing is leg length and improper fit. If your leg does not track ...

Maybe it is neither! Could it not be the moment you hit the ground with your foot which, even when doing it gently, is more of an actual hit than just standing peacefully. I would think that clipping in does some wear and it also removes the micro-bits of cleat the standing and hitting has filed down. What kind of cleats do you use? and more important, ...

I wear Chrome shoes as well, but only have the regular Midways. Chrome, although their shoes are less than satisfactory (for me), have excellent customer service, and I mean EXCELLENT. If you have some sort of defect on your shoe, take it into one of their shops, and they'll replace it for you. (Within the 1 year warranty) Mine was splitting on the sides ...

The cleats and pedals I have look just like yours, except more used. I love them. I've used egg beaters on all my bikes for the last 5 years or so. They shed dirt, they're easy and quiet to clip in and out, and except for one broken spring on an older pair, really reliable. (FYI, some of the older eggbeaters didn't have wrench flats. The ones in your ...
