The hot ticket used to be to bolt the cleats on using countersunk screws from the inside and nuts on the outside. Also, I remember that the base of the T.A. Anquetil long "road" cleats would often break about 1/2 " behind the slot, especially on less rigid shoes; many people would shorten them before installing to about the length of the "track" version. These cleats were apparently around before T.A. made them- I've wondered what the story is with that.
