Pedals and shoes

[Zaskar]

What are you after' date=' Road or mountain bike shoes / pedals?

 

But for a first pair i would say go for the SPD  type shoes and pedals.(Shimano Peddaling Dynamics). They are the easiest to learn to use, both clipping in and riding in, to walking around in the shoes when not on the bike. The soles are flexible and are not as stiff as pure carbon soled road shoes.

 

Pedals i would say go for Shimano, but there are plenty of other brands that make SPD compatible pedals and cleats. Shimano have lasted me very well, im still riding my a pair of 520's that i bought in 1992. But look out for cheaper brands like Wellgo, Ritchey etc.

 

Regarding sheoes, have a look at the Olympic Shoes, available at Sportsmans Warehouse. They are very good value, and from what i have heard are pretty good shoes. But there are lots of shoes on the market, so shop around.

 

Hope that helps!

WOW, 15 years.  I bet you won't find stuff that last that long anymore.  They companies realised that if you make something that lasts forever, you will only sell one set\pair\item to some people and they will never need to buy again.
