    I understand a little extra loctite threadlock is good when fitting speedplay cleats in addition to that already on the screws.

    Question is which one to get and where can I get it.

    I understand there are different grades 222 to 270 with 270 being permament.

    Halfords only appear to have 248, is this good enough?.

    222/223 will be ideal for the job as it’s the lowest grade. Putting threadlock on blind fasteners like cleat screws is a good idea, plus it’ll inhibit any corrosion.

    lbuch I think its more the question of the screws falling out as you are not supposed to tighten them too much.
    I’ve had a screw fallout and the guy that did my bikefit mentioned its very common.

    Save your money – I’ve been using speedplays for at least 6 years and never had a problem with cleats slipping.

    I bought some Loctite from Halfords for my headset.
    Think it was blue if that is any help.
    Has been great since.

    Not sure with locktite I’ve never been able to track it down so I’ve used this;

    Medium strength and non permanent being the important bits I reckon. And yes you definitely need it for the Speedplay screws!
