It's about time that we had cleats in our shorts and gloves, I need to feel totally connected.

Remove saddle, leave seatpost in place. One problem solved (butt another created). With proper clenching no dropper needed.

dont forget to use a grease on the thread, otherwise good luck taking those cleats off in a year or two

Locktite is a better idea. You can still remove them when you need to but no need to worry about them coming loose on their own

@chize: Loctite has been my choice for a long time with mountain bike components. I actually find using the 222 (green) is enough for any mountain bike component. Don't use something too strong, anything in the "High strength" range and you'll pull out the aluminum threads right along with the Loctite.

I'm curious to know what bike fitting courses/qualifications Colin has? I would say I have a basic knowledge (at best) of cleat placement and I can honestly say this was a swing and a miss. Although this was a great ADVERTISEMENT for park tools...maybe you should bring in some actual substance in regards to cleat placement by a...I don't know...actual bike fitter.

Don´t forget to tighten the cleats firmly. Otherwise they can start to move and as a result you may be unable u unclip.

Most shops i know use the Ergon cleat tool, then you adjust to fine tune
