how do you make a shimano cleat into a onza ho cleat

[cannondale king]

i got some onza ho pedals off ebay during the week (£9.75 posted) and now i need some cleats but i heard you can file shimano cleats to the shape of onza cleats.

so anyone know how and do you have pics or pics of onza ho cleats to work from :?: this could be helpful to a lot of guys here

if the axles are silver they are ti
if they are black they are steel
ive got a few sets of each
I also think it was the wellgo cleats that you file down to make them fit.

Absolutely- THREE axles avalable, crro-mo, and Ti initially, later stainless.
The stainless is a Ferritic stainless so it actually magnetic. A magnet will tell you if its Ti or stainless.

They where not. You could get them to engage if I remember, may have needed a warn cleat. BUT release was not very good.

The only Shimano compatible part was the SPD fixing to the shoe
