Northwave SLW2 Dials

johnian99 · 2017-09-05T08:15:01+01:00

I want to fit the Northwave Speedplay adapters to my new Northwave shoes and need to take off the SLW2 dials to get proper access to the inside of the shoes. Does anyone know what size allen key to use on the SLW2 dial screws? I have tried 1.3mm, 1.5mm and 2mm and they are either too big or too small - perhaps the allen keys are not precise enough in their dimensions, but maybe the size I need is different. Any advice most welcome. Thanks

Two things come to mind,

I think the dial screws are Torx not Allen.

I’ve swapped out two lots of Northwave adapters include Extreme. All you need to do is put pressure on one of the rear bolt holes. This should break the perferations on the cardboard sole. Put pressure on the other one or “help” the tear witha screw driver gently. Pop the three bolt out, insert the four bolt. Ensure everything is alinged, fit cleats, refit sole and off you go .
