Is there a difference between the left and right baseplate for Speedplay Cleats?
Hey folks,
Can someone please tell me if there is a difference between the left and right baseplate on Speedplay standard cleats? If so, how can you tell.
I've included photos of what I believe to be the left cleat.
TIA!

Right, they look identical with no visible markings denoting left and right. I contacted Speedplay customer support and the agent told me that there are left and right baseplates. I guess he misunderstood. The "cleat surrounds" are labeled left and right.

The fact that they are not labelled probably answers your question. The “left” cleat in your photos (what led you to believe it was a left cleat?) looks symmetrical from above and below. But what about the side profile? Is there any curvature there that could potentially be handed? That’s the only way I could imagine them being handed.

There is no difference.

To Wahoo's defense, they agreed to send me replacement baseplates after I told them the left baseplate didn't align with the cleat and that I was unable to mount it to my shoe, (true story). For the moment, I'm using a baseplate from an old cleat.
