[barrykm]

I've been very happy with Shimano SPD 540 pedals plus MT40 MTB shoes. barrykm2008-07-11 08:37:12

Oi Big H!! Temper, temper. Steady now ...

 

I think that he is just making the point that you should never say never. Particularly you ... as I have lost count of the number of times that you have "left" us.

 

By the way are you the couch potato?

Hi Keith.

 

I know its a bit after the fact..... BUT maybe helpfull after thaught for the next guy/girl ready to convert to SPD pedals and shoes...

 

As many previous posts have confirmed, you certainly can't beat Olympic Hurrican mtb shoes, we've sold 100's of pairs and not one single comeback yet.

 

And you'll never go wrong with Shimano pedals.

 

As for best value for money spd type pedals on the market, my vote has to go to the RYDER SPD Bi pedals. - RRP - R379.

 

Enjoy the spd's and keep the war stories coming.

 

(And some helpfull tips - just in case your LBS sales man has not aready told you.....)

- Start with your pedals release mechnism set quite loose, so you can easily unclip in case of emergency. (Read "falling over")

- Just take care though, especially when standing, as this also means you can also more easily unclip when not intending to do so.

- As you grow in confidance, tighten them untill you find the right balance between clipping & unclipping to your liking (some like them loose, others prefer them very tight).
