Quality Control
After my cleats wore to the point I couldn't get my right shoe off the pedal, I decided to replace them. Campy cleats have metal hooks that don't have to be swapped out each time, you just replace the plastic part. Each cleat has 3 screws and 3 washers.
It would make sense the replacements would come paired, like 2 screws and 2 washers. For some stupid reason mine came with 2 screws and one washer. I guess in case you lose a screw but the washer hangs on?
I can understand not sending 6 of each, since the assumption is the original cleats are still attached to the shoe, or you'd be buying the full kit with metal hooks and hardware. Somehow, the mismatched hardware seems dinky.
