rouxtjie Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Ping ping ping roadies... Decided to get me some road skoens and pedals since I can't take the comments and laughs at races about my dirty mtb shoes and spd pedals... Have browsed around all the sites but havent come to a decision yet...these two stand out though...so which one would you get and why. Also if there is something else in that price bracket feel free to hi-jack and go off on a tangent about it http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/bont-riot-microfibre-shoehttp://www.evobikes.co.za/apparel/road-shoes/diadora-mig-racer-cr.html
NotSoBigBen Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I'm not really knowledgable about these matters but I do know that white is the preferred colour for real roadies ...... And sommer that 'gloss' almost plastic look!
rouxtjie Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 Just go Spez. Pleasure.Was about to pull the trigger at the new concept store but at R2600 its over my budget for the size 44 comp. They are nice looking but just that fraction too much. Also flipped my lid as I went in the previous month and asked the price and fit...the guys responds with R1550 and I said I will be back after payday. Payday comes and its now 2600...

They all end up yellow, like the plastic bits on your white Defy washing machine.. LeTurbo 1

Madlight Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Yep, I'd go for SIDI first as they last forever and fits like a glove. If you have super small feet look at: http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/sidi-genius-66-carbon-redblkwht or similar. Otherwise go Spez Boobear 1
NotSoBigBen Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 The people laughing and pointing fingers at me(read.... YOU, bennie) is the cause of this thread.

You are starting to think like a roadie. Want to buy the stuff to look cool. Soonyou will ask if they have it in carbon. Get red ones, they are fast Super Sywurm, rouxtjie and jaco369 3
