CANONICAL REPOSITORY

Carbon fiber is an incredible material; strong, light weight, and responsive. However, carbon fiber is delicate and not immune to repetitive abrasion. To ensure the safety and longevity of the sole of a carbon fiber shoe, Predator Cycling provides a solution in our Safeguard Shims, a Speedplay / Wahoo compatible metal cleat protector plate.

The Safeguard Shim provides direct protection between the base of a cycling shoe and any cleat adapters, wedges, or shims desired by the cyclist. The Safeguard Shim creates a strong foundation for the shoe, alleviating an "wobble" created by direct contact with the pedal. By incorporating a protector plate, you can reduce common wear and tear associated with repetitive use of pedal clipping.
