Abstract
A cleat assembly mounting system includes a shoe sole with a curved underside portion with mounting holes. A cleat assembly for engaging a bicycle pedal is mounted to a curved underside portion of the sole. A shim between the sole and the cleat assembly has shim holes configured for alignment with the mounting holes. Each mounting hole is a slot extending in a first direction with a width less than its length. Each shim hole is a slot extending in a second direction with a width less than its length. The first and second directions are substantially orthogonal. Nut assemblies have one or more nuts for securing the cleat assembly using one or more threaded fasteners through the mounting holes and shim holes. The cleat assembly includes a spring housing, and a bottom plate configured to be secured to the shim and further configured to conformably receive the bicycle pedal.
