REI Members get back an estimated $ 2.10 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Shimano SH-51 Lateral Release SPD Cleat:

I have an ankle injury, so clipless pedals are more challenging for me than average. I prefer SPDs over all other pedals, and these are, in fact, good cleats. However, because of my injury, I have a little bit of a hard time getting out of the pedal, when using these cleats.

So, while I like them, they SH56 outshines them in every way for me, and I would suggest it before the SH51. But I have to emphasize, my problem with these cleats is a problem with my body, not the cleats themselves. I would still recommend them to a friend, but I would tell a friend how much I enjoy the SH56 also.

Comments about Shimano SH-51 Lateral Release SPD Cleat:

They will ware thin if you walk on pavement much as I do, then they release easier, it is a slow degradation until your foot escapes the peddle. I get about 2 years before I need to replace them. Other than that they are great. cheers
