Speedplay X pedals installation torque
Does anyone know how tight the original Speedplay X pedals (not cleats) should be torqued for installation? I can't seem to find the info anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

This is what I get searching for “Speedplay cleat torque”
2.5Nm /
The Speedplay Cleat Fastening Screw Torque Wrench provides the proper torque of 2.5Nm / 22 in-lbs. required when installing the 4mm Cleat Fastening Screws (8) used with all Speedplay road cleats. |

Screw them into the crank and don’t overtighten. There is no need to torque them down. Don’t overthink it.

The reason why I ask is that I always damage the flat area by the thread at the end of the pedal if I used the 15mm pedal wrench. Using a hex bit and work from the other side of the pedal would be more precise, if I know roughly how tight it should be torqued down. 35-55 NM seems to be appropriate as this is what Shimano listed for their pedals. Just want to be a bit more accurate.

I actually just found out the Speedplay X-pedals does not accept allen key in the back end. Thanks to everyone.

One of the other benefits to the after-market ebay Ti spindles

If you’re concerned about scoring the spindle with the wrench, you likely are trying to overtighten. It also helps to have a good pedal wrench like a Hozan that is wider where it contacts the spindle and doesn’t have what amounts to an edge like the inexpensive Pedro’s or Park pedal wrenches.
