Frequently asked questions
What must a cycling shoe listing state?
The cleat system — three-bolt road, two-bolt SPD, or flat. Without it a buyer cannot tell whether it fits their pedals.
Can BOA dials be replaced?
Yes, replacement kits are widely available and inexpensive, so a failed dial is not fatal. Disclose it though.
Do cleats need including?
It helps, but most buyers replace them. State whether they are included and how worn they are.
