dirtrider Posted January 15, 2008 Share Donno ! I think the roadies and weight weenies will have a lot to say about it . I had a look at the XTR and LX BB cap-bearing yesterday at the LBS . I even took my glasses out and could still not see any difference between the two except for the price . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted January 15, 2008 Share Okay, this is how I ermember it. SPD = Shimano mountain bike pedalsSPD-R = Like the MTB pedals but only single sided intended for roadSPD-SL = The new road pedals. Almost look like "Look". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaskar Posted January 15, 2008 Share I somehow doubt the 3 cleats are compatible. SPD.. SPD-R.. and an SPD-SL.. SPD is really for mountainbiking, or general purpose use. The SPD-SL is Shimanos version of the Look road pedal, which is actually a very good peadal. And the SPD-R is the older road pedal that was replaced by the SL pedal and cleat. I havnt seen them for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it got send to its room without dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
