swapping shimano to look cleat positioning?

[jifdave]

I ride with shimano spd sl on my road bike which i had fitted as part of a bike fit.
I'm starting to ride more track and have to use look keo pedals that are on the hire bike.

How does positioning of the two compare, i know the shimano cleat is bigger but i am wondering if i was to draw around my shimano cleat and them match the nose position with the keo cleat would it be in roughly the correct place?

suck it and see. i've changed from look delta to spd sl with no problems…

Suck it and see doesn’t work for me sadly. If off by too much and my knees fall apart. Guess I’ll go get a proper fitting

do your current cleats have a degree of float?

 

[jifdave]

Yup, yellow 6degree Shimano

red keo cleats have 9° of float, so you'll probably be ok changing to them…

I would suggest marking around your current cleat position entirely and also making marks along where the axle is on your pedal in comparison to the current cleat. Then as a starting position try and replicate this as closely as possible with the new cleat.
