SPD Pedal insert platform

thingiverse

This is an insert for SPD compatible pedals so you can use flat shoes. I tried many of the ones available on Thingiverse & was unable to clip most in. The one that did clip in I had to break to get out. The insert by rvanwort was different, it didn't replicate the cleat like the others tried, but simply fit snugly into the pedal. I'm using Look X-Track pedals which are very similar to the Shimano pedals, but there was a piece on the bottom of the insert that was in the way of setting the insert down completely. I'm not sure if it is in the way with the Shimano pedals. I removed that piece, removed the holes in the pedal, and added some plastic squares to the top for grip. I also shortened the back of the pedal a bit. With the grips on the top however, it needs to be printed with supports. There are some things I was not happy with about this pedal, so I made a new one from scratch you can see in my designs.
