I'm running the same set up....moved the cleats from my Sidi to my Specialized Tri Shoe. You have to use the adaptor plate that has the 3 screw config. I believe that adaptore comes with the pedals and cleats, if you don't have it anymore you may have to buy a new set of cleats :(

Good luck

Damn, I just bought new cleats this summer. My Carnacs have to use an adapter plate, but is has the 3 holes in a triangle like the Specialized shoe, but then it also has one screw at the top and one at the bottom, so I doubt I can use that adapter with the Specialized, I don't just want to leave those 2 holes empty.

So you think the adapter comes from Speedplay or Specialized? I think the one I have now came with my Carnacs.

Adaptor comes with the speedplay cleats and works on the Trivents.

Can I get it without buying new cleats? I bought new cleats this summer but they didn't come with an adaptor, I didn't need one because I was still riding my Carnacs. I don't think that adaptor will work though because of the 2 extra holes.

Don't know. I'd check with some LBSs and see if they have any extras laying around or are willing to sell the adaptors from a set.

I think I have extras. PM me for my address, send me a SASE, and I will send you a set.

Good choice on both shoes and pedals.

Go to the Speedplay website at http://www.speedplay.com/ for very up to date info on shoe/pedal compatibility. I think you will find the answer there. Also, if you are lost, you can phone them directly at 800-468-6694 for tech info. They are outstandng for tech support.

Your primary resource on the website for shoe compatibility is here:

Thanks for the input Tom. I have the cleats and I picked up what I was told was the adaptor plate at my LBS, it's a thin piece of black plastic with a 3 bolt pattern to attach to the shoe with short fat allen screws and then a 4 bolt patter I assumed to attached the cleats to the plate. However the plate is pretty thin and the 4 hole pattern holes aren't even threaded. Plus my cleat screws pass right through that and are hitting the sole of the shoe before they are even close to tight. I feel like an idiot but I just don't know what I am doing wrong. I there another piece? The shoes came with 2 little black metal pieces but I don't see how they fit or what they do. I will go back to the LBS tomorrow with all of this stuff in hand, just looking for any pointers beforehand. Thanks
